I'm not worried about new reactor designs failing. I'm more worried about storing and protecting waste that lasts 20,000 years.
Just seems like another opportunity to externalize costs onto future humans to me.

Earth core contains gazilions of spent nuclear fuel. Just burying spent nuclear fuel would not make anything worse.
But it is suboptimal, because spent nuclear fuel can be used in the future reactors.
I don't understand why people repeat this statement about spent fuel again and again why there's no problem.
