I have almost zero problems with nuclear power.
I have almost zero confidence in the humans involved. Operations, waste disposal, financials, turf wars, transparency, accountability, whatever.
Humans ruin everything. Even in my own (very low stakes) work as a programmer, the problem is rarely the tech, its the humans.
Whenever someone floats an idea, I wonder "What's the worst that could go wrong?" Solar panels becomes landfill and the silicon fabs become superfund sites. vs Chernobyl, Fukushima, Hanford Nuclear Reservation, proliferation, dirty bombs, etc.
