Yeah, I mean, I say that too. The tech is dangerous, humans are irresponsible greedy idiots who should not handle it and we have no space for the waste from production and from decommission. Also: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-nuclearpower-astri...

All contrary to how modern reactors work. No human intervention required; waste not the issue. Its FUD like that, that keeps accidents happening. Because we can't decommission old reactors by building new ones.

So those new reactors that do not exist have no humans working there? Interesting theory...

You CAN decommission them. You just don't WANT. Germany managed it. France could too but they are not doing it because of greed aka human intervention.

In the end the same fact remains: humans = bad, bad shouldn't manage nuclear ergo no nuclear.

Don't be an ass. They have critical functions automated, and have very few critical functions.

With a growing populace and demand, no you cannot decommission power plants without huge political backlash.
