> - Nuclear waste: Many supposedly safe storage solutions such as in former salt mines have turned out to be unsafe. Gen IV reactors produce less, but not nothing at all.

In addition, storing nuclear waste costs money. A lot of money. Nuclear proponents exchange 60 years of energy for thousands of year of baby-sitting nuclear waste, which costs a lot.

If you really had any interest in the subject, you would've googled it by now. Open up google and type "radioactive waste storage cost" if you really have any interest in the subject.
