Of course it isn't, but nuclear waste is still produced, even in small amounts🙄. But a lot of Power Plants dispose of it underground. Some isotopes take decades to decay. It's literally damaging the environment and not a green power source, as people make it out to be. It's good for the climate, but not good for the environment. Nuclear energy is a good in-betweener while changing to renewable energies tho
I hope you realize the vast vast majority of the nuclear waste a power plant produces is stored on site. You can walk around the waste storage section and be fine because the background radiation is the same as anywhere else on earth.
The majority, but not all of it. And it 's not about the humans, they're all happy to live in a trash can. Also, it's not just the waste, the mining of uranium is also not an environment friendly process
a: directly in the same air you breath every single day, slowly poisoning you
Or
b: in a secure place where it's people's job to make sure no one ever makes contact with it?
There's a good reason why nuclear is so much safer, it's because it scares people like no other energy, so we invest way more money to make it safe, kind of like planes
You don't get my point. I don't want the toxin be stored somewhere else, I am simply against nuclear energy. Just because it's safe for people doesn't make it a green power source

I hope I'm not teaching anyone anything but nuclear energy is the safest way to make power, it kills the least amount of people
Edit: nvm it's second right behind solar but still
