Well I am sceptical. Maybe I can believe that US and other rich nations can make it work, I have huge doubts in most of the couries being careful enough.
It needs to be “run” as long as wastes keep coming in, then they are design to last for geological times with no human intervention.
Nuclear power killed less people than dams. If you trust a country with dams, nuclear power is a step up in terms of safety. And if US and China switched to nuclear, we already would be a long way on our path to solving the climate crisis.

Running a nuclear power plant is harder and more dangerous than running a storage facility
Storage facility ahould not be “run”, it is not possible to guarantee someone will keep an eye on it for thousands of years.
But you are right, running power plant is harder and I don’t trust most of the governments around the world to do it safety.
If rich/stable countries focus only on nuclear as clean energy - risky countries will do the same or go to coal.
We are not searching for solution only for US and Europe since it is not enough.

Cool, I guess I have doubts they would last for that long, and even that they will be built.
Would need to see much more proof to change my mind.
