tldr and you can even not read the rest: safety before returns on investment is better than no return on investment because lack of safety
and to have more stable and safer nukes those paying for it just need to accept the fact that having a plant meeting or exceeding safety requirements is better than a plant being on maintenance half the time
also the radiation of a nuclear plant is lower than that of a coal plant due to the uranium in the coal's ashes - iirc
so if the reactor vessel isn't completely crap along with the other meters of concrete and whatnot there shouldn't be any concerns with radiation
I won't touch proper waste disposal since that's fairly.. you dig a hole far away in a special kind of rock and fill holes in the hole with the sticks and the sticks are in dry ceramic and multiple metal layers and all that is covered in concrete
man I'm tired sorry if this makes no sense
