I want to do more research in Thorium reactors. They are much safer than uranium.
On meltdown issues maybe, but if it's one of the molten salt types, they generate way more waste. Old school rods make long term storage of waste actually pretty easy
And "more" is relative. All the nuclear waste ever created worldwide could be stored in a single specialized facility if we were inclined to do so.
Compare against the waste generated at a single coal plant.
