A few points (as a high-energy physicist)
1) We ourselves are radioactive naturally, due to Potassium 40 in our
cells, which decays very slowly.Perhaps this is part of our global
evolutionary process, making egg and sperm cell changes? Think of the
ancient apes constantly crossing the area around the natural nuclear
reactors (6 found) in central Africa! Out of Africa indded!
2) We believe the major source of heat in the earth that powers
volcanos and crustal movements is this same K-40 because of the vaste
quantity of potassium in the rocks, other sources simple help.
3) Commercial nuclear reactors are "pretty-good" from a safety point
of view;(but less so experimental devices)..
4) We always learn from mistakes (hopefully small) and from better
knowledge.
5) If one day we get really safe space transport vehicles, we could
theoretically shoot radioactive waste into the sun; best to do it from
the moon (even if that makesa two step process) to get the correct
trajectory and velocity and use free power and cheap casing
materials.. Right now it's NOT an option.
6) I'm fully in favour of using solar and wind energy (this is just a
re-distribution of energy). Using tidal energy will lose us our moon
in the long term, even if it takes a long time. And we are getting
better at solar-cell efficiencies.
