eli5 isn’t finding a place to store nuclear waste easier than that covering acres of land with wind turbines and solar panels?

Nuclear power is relatively safe when managed responsibly, and provides a consistant power output. When it comes to hydro electric , solar or wind; it is possible that drought, impaired sunlight, and days with low wind could lead to a day with zero energy or low energy output.

Look at the history of Hanford nuclear sites, hundreds if not thousands of workers with horrible health issues, leaking holding tanks (because lowest bidder contractors ignored sensors IGNORED f’n sensors telling them theres damn leak) which has penitrated the ground water, what till that starts showing up in the Columbia River.

Japan planned for disaster, they had tsunami walls big enough to handle the waves that hit Fukushima…only the quake dropped the ground level and halved the height of the walls. The reactor site had back up generators which were swamped.
