Not if you go the molten salt thorium reactor route...
Nor is the uranium route if you reprocess the spent, but Carter (IIRC) executive order banned reprocessing which is why the massive amounts of spent fuel sit in water pools at reactor sites waiting for someone to stuxnet the pump management systems...
I bow to knowledge.
If nuke power can be made safe, then I do not object. If there is spent fuel all over the place percolating, then I object to it.
Ha.... beat me to it. So I was right.
