You really need to read up on the subject.  Modern nuclear technology produces a fraction of the waste AND can reuse most of the waste from old nuclear power, so waste is actually a non-issue now.  The waste doesn't need to be stored offsite because there is so little, existing waste can be recycled.  it also produces way more power with a fraction of fissile material.

In addition to that modern nuclear power design is almost 100% safe from catastrophic meltdown.  They use physics that don't require an outside power source OR human intervention to shutdown.   They basically function on their own to prevent meltdowns.    Fukishima for example relied on the power grid and backup generators to keep the reactors cool.  If  it had a modern nuclear design there would have been no meltdown, no explosion and no disaster.
