I'd say the »nuclear waste« problem is another scare story, because:

- It is not much at all.  The total amount of spent nuclear fuel ever generated by humans fits a cube of 35 m sides.  Or »tens of thousands of metric tons« if you want to scare people.  This is much less than the amount of coal replaced by the contents of a single spent fuel cask.

- It is dangerous, but not exceptionally so.

- Deep underground final repositories, such as in Finland, are known to work.
