It takes a while to meet load and has to be kept on for a while. Its great for general industry which will have factories switched on for days on end but to meet the load demands on the grid would require behaviour management of the general public.


Nuclear power is certainly a good way forward but we need better battery and transfer technology.

Radiation hardening meaning they need major overhauls that result in tons of radioactive waste every 50 years.
It's not hard to find issues with and I'm pro-nuclear.

The Chernobyl meltdown wasn't a technological malfunction. It was literally caused by the human incompetence of the people working at the plant. They didn't run testing protocols in the way they should have, they caused the meltdown by not following safety procedures.

Try following safety procedures in the USSR

But no, the real answer is safety recommendations, mandates, whatever you want to call them can be ignored and all it takes for a human to ignore them is some other factor being scarier because the accident "probably won't happen".

Also yes, it wasn't a technical malfunction, but it was still an old, dangerous, and cheap reactor design and you never would have heard of Chernobyl if it was a better reactor.

no, if a meltdown can be caused by only incompetence then you have a problem. Chernobyl was caused by a mixture of incompetence and a flawed reactor design, it doesn't happen without both.

ill give just the first three that come to my mind
>nuclear waste (expensive to store and treat, lots of effort required)
>nuclear plants require a lot of space, and cant be build anywhere, need a fresh water supply, also cant be build in zones with seismic activity, the plants also are expensive to maintain as they need to match high safety standards and constant check-ups
>practically limited resources are required as fuel, preparation of radioactive material is extensive

You trade strip mining for coal for strip mining for core material, which is 1000 times less abundant in the Earths crust.

Also, if you're not careful you'll stumble upon MUTO spores and then shit goes off the rails from there.
