    I think the problems from that are smaller and easier to solve than the problems from fracking/oil well drilling/coal mining etc destructive practices for fuel.

    No. Way more destructive. Fracking for oil and drilling can make a site uninhabitable for like 5 years and it can be cleaned effectively in a minimum of like a month.

    Nuclear Damage can last from 112 years to up to 20,000 years. You can decontaminate an area effectively on 2 to 7 years but the waste water of dumped wouldn’t be good for anything.

    Some colleges have micro nuclear power plants so it’s not like they’re not used.

    Its a gamble that needs a lot of competence to make it future proof.
