This is one good solution, there are also others, but the main problem is that "superpowers" want uranium and plutonium to build what they call fission or thermonucelear bombs.
Same reason why England built the plant at Windscale umm Sellafield umm whatever it is being named after the next accident to not upset anyone.
It was never built to generate electricity for civilian purposes, only to produce weapon grade nuclear material.

If it was safe it would be even ok in my book, but it is not. Not the old reactors, not the "new" ones. Find the answer to dispose of spent fuel and how to depollute the environment of nuclear waste, apart from converting it to "depleted uranuium" projectiles which will contaminate the environment even more, and then we can talk.

Speaking of civilian use alone what is more primitive than to only heat steam with nuclear fission, to drive turbines and then generate electricity? Why don't you use steam engines powered by nuclear fission?
Direct energy conversion? Maybe it is astonishing what mankind has invented and developed, but when i look at what has been neglected for a hundred years with all this knowledge at hand .. sigh.
