I've been doing some thinking and i'm wondering what you guys think of this

Pro
>high output
>relatively clean, non-polluting
>no greenhouse gases (omiting construction and mining)
>produce more than they consume
>could use other sources besides uranium (ie; thorium when feasible)

Cons
>mining rare radioactive elements is a mess and expensive
>when the plants get hit by a disaster they could really fuck things up
>waste is hard to get rid of and lasts for mellenia
>non-renewable
