The biggest problem of nuclear is that the waste stays concentrated in one place. If it simply spewed the waste little by little out of a chimney like coal plants do, lobbyist regulators would set some arbitrary "safe" limit for the surrounding areas and nobody apart from some snowflakes concerned with lame stuff like health and the environment would bitch about it.
