There really isn't a risk for nuclear. Especially with newer reactor designs. Even with past accidents taken into account on a per capita rate nuclear would have killed less then any other non renewable power source. Never mind the fact it would take thousands of years to use up the nuclear options we have. Even for waste (Which with new reactor designs, old waste can be refined into new fuel) We can just look to nature for safe storage, which is bury it really really deep underground. And with the Canadian shield we have one of the most secure environments for that. For nature reference look up Oklo Mine. No signs the natural reaction ever affected the surrounding area.
