So most of the issues are weaponization. I wonder if that is likely to ever happen over the next, potentially, millions of years? Hahaha
Look, it's just dangerous. It's not a boogeyman, but it's not as safe as water. Or wind. Viable alternatives exist, I think they're a wiser choice overall. Nuclear made sense before we had good wind and solar, tech, maybe, but there's just no point now. Plus, whether we choose to remain nuclear or not, we'll run out of fuel some day. It's non-renewable.
You gotta envision all the crazy, horrendous shit people will do over the loong, long stretch, which is hard to do I think. You basically have to assume that every terrible thing that could happen, will, over those long time frames. We can't know, so we have to play it as safe as possible, imo. We'll probably have like 10 mad maxes and 10 civilizations in that time. Gotta cover all the future peoples' bases, while we can
