Even the fuck-ups are minor compared to what happens with fossil fuels. It's just we do a crazy overreaction when they do happen.

Frankly, when I consider the risks of nuclear power, "Fukushima, Chernobyl, And Three Mile Island" are not what comes to mind.
I think more of the high rates of cancer in the towns down-river of nuclear waste storage facilities in Idaho.
I can't find anywhere in the article discussing waste management.

The same guy wrote a whole other article on that:

Though I personally prefer Iida Ruishalme's article on the subject:

Because it's a non-issue. We have plenty of ways of dealing with the waste. It's just they take actually doing, not simply sticking it in a barrel somewhere because it's classified and thus nobody will talk.
