No, they didn't say it's not allowed. There are environmental laws here. Real ones, that prevent something like a reprocessing plant because those things do still leak radioactive waste into the environment. Especially through water. And I'm pretty sure you know that since you've read so much about it.

> We have had some ridiculously safe reactors for decades, we just aren't allowed to build or use them anywhere.

Why should you? The same thing has been said about those xx years old ones who threaten our lives east and west of Germany while we have so much green energy that we have to sell it.

> We have ways to deal with waste, but we aren't allowed to do it...

Yeah but those ways suck. They are bad for the environment and they cost a hell lot of money those who ran the plants don't want to pay for: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/kosten-atommuell-101.html

> Seriously. Put your prejudices and patriotism at the door and actually do some research on the subject.

I got the fallout of Tszarnobyl in east Poland as a child and Fukushima on a trip in Tokyo. Spare your idiotic propaganda about how safe this last century technology is supposed to be. It's dead and the sooner the nations who still base their electricity output on it recognize this, the better for the whole humankind.
