I continue to believe a nuclear plant construction company should deploy at least one solar thermal kit on site fairly early in the site preparation process.
It's going to have a way to convert heat to electricity when finished. There is no reason that process should not start as early as possible!
Even using electricity only on-site would be useful, and mirrors / pipes are easy to recycle / reuse, unlike PV panels / inverters.

Robert Stone covered a lot of the objections to nuclear energy. Watching this talk and his movie are both recommended by me.

Welcome to the club. Nuclear energy is never compared fairly either.
Most people don't even know the fears they have about it come from outright lies.

It was a huge mistake that the USA never made use of the CANDU reactor design and the expertise available right across the border.
Every state building DC lines to Canada should be changing laws to allow building nuclear plants instead of buying electricity from those who did!

> [...] itβs no surprise that many Americans believe nuclear waste poses an enormous and terrifying threat. But after talking to engineers, radiation specialists and waste managers, Iβve come to see this misunderstanding is holding us back from embracing a powerful, clean energy source we need to tackle climate change.

I like the Green New Deal as an idea, but the USA energy policy is completely backward.
We need to be building our best long-term investment despite the public having been convinced by propaganda that our best option is worse than leaking/burning methane.
Household rooftop solar is the most expensive option! Don't let politicians waste our tax money on this least effective option!

It's ironic that the same group who so terribly overestimated the costs of nuclear energy are now saying that H2 generation with nuclear is a great option.

Greenpeace is full of anti-nuclear zealotry and does not deserve your money!
They are actively selling and profiting from methane plants hidden behind solar and wind projects.

US Rebuilding Nuclear Fuel and Uranium Enrichment Production
> The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) projects the U.S. market alone will need more than 40 metric tons of HALEU (high-assay low-enriched uranium), for the new generation of reactors by the end of the decade.

The companies selling coal, methane, and oil products have been promoting "solutions" that still indirectly require their products. At the same time, they have been paying for others to lie to the public about the existing electricity generation industry that doesn't require their products.
We need to be building reactors to actually reduce carbon emissions!

To clean up electricity generation, we already know which technologies work the best.
Hint: It's not solar panels or wind turbines!
Moving from burning wood in homes and coal / oil at industrial sites to electricity is an admirable goal. However, we don't gain enough carbon reduction until we shift electricity to cleaner constant generation.
Moving water is one and nuclear is the other.

No country on Earth has managed to reduce their carbon emissions into the atmosphere by using intermittent solar and wind.
Germany has been trying for decades and spending more than an entire fleet of reactors would cost in the attempt.

Why mention spent nuclear fuel at all?
It just sits in concrete and steel containers and has never harmed anyone in the entire history of commercial nuclear electricity generation in the USA.
We could also start using the "waste" as fuel if the USA just built a few dozen CANDU reactors. The plan should be 4 (LW) + 1 (HW) reactors at each plant, in my opinion.
