Right now yes. But we're creating waste that remains harmful for thousands of years and store it in facilities with a 100-year service life.

It's the same kind of "leaving problems to the next generation" of current fossil-fuel use except this one is a lot more generations away.

This isn't the case with thorium salt reactors or, if we had enough funding to finally crack it, fusion.
