Except nobody put in place any plan or workable science to deal with the waste. Multiple states passed laws banning the transport of nuclear waste across them. Wouldn't really matter because ___THROWING IT IN A HOLE IS NOT AN ANSWER___.

So, we have massively inefficient nuclear reactors (less than 1% per my friend who used to design and install them). They are changing out rods something like once or multiple times per year instead of once every 30 years as originally promised and all of the nuclear waste is stored on site. Usually it is stored in concrete pools filled with water. Those pools leak. The village of Essex, IL found that out when radioactive Trillium? Tridium? one of those "tri" radioactive things got into the ground water.

If you don't mind drinking glowing water and the occasional mushroom cloud up the street, not to mention all of the radioactive water dumped into some of the most abundant shrimp fishing around Japan, it's not so bad.
