2. The waste - nobody wants it - it's a hazard for tens of thousands of years - what's the plan for managing it?
Yes energy generation (and independence) is important, no nuclear ain't it.
This makes no sense. Russia has actual nuclear weapons, it can "obliterate" Ukraine (or Switzerland) on a whim with them, if they decide to. Also, as you can verify by looking at the containment zone of Chernobyl catastrophe, full blown meltdown/explosion of a nuclear reactor doesn't really "obliterate" a country size of Ukraine.

No, it is not hazardous for "tens of thousands of years".
BTW you might want to reconsider throwing Wikipedia links and trolling accusation on a Ukrainian like me who is familiar with the matter much more than you and was actually affected by Chernobyl catastrophe in 86. It is neither clever nor insightful and you are definitely overstepping (to cite some goals stated in your account description).
