The rational argument is that it can provide carbon-free electricity for the entire planet with today's technology. All the information you are asking about is readily available on the internet if you are genuinely interested.

I do think it's amusing that anti-nuclear folks are so worried about waste issues when the current solution for carbon fuel waste is "dump it in the environment and let the kids deal with it". With nuclear fuel the waste is solid and in small enough quantities that it can be managed.

You're making statements, and I would like to check them. Unless I'm able to - and it takes enough of efforts to find this information on the Internet, I've tried - I'm not convinced, despite of, or maybe because of, all knowledge that I have, and I can't recommend it.

If that would be trivially available, surely there would be some page which can be easily linked to with all answers to questions like these?

Go nuts. I already linked the DOE page, and here is another useful one - https://whatisnuclear.com/waste.html
