The problems with nuclear reactors are
1. What to do with the radioactive waste. It used to be flushed into the sea. That's why nuclear power plants are always built on the coast in the UK.
I don't think they are allowed to do this anymore, as the sea life was dying. (hope not!)
2. Human error regarding leaks. (Homar Simpson!, no really, it would be a boring job working there, what sort of staff will it attract?)
3. Possibility of it blowing up
4. Staff who work there suffer from radiation poison. (Cases at Sellafield, but not sure if they contracted it when Sellafield was Windscale.
I'm not an authority on this subject.
