Completely clean? Where does the nuclear fuel come from? How do we get it?

Does the handling of nuclear waste consider foul play by terrorists and such?

I didn’t he many worries about russian rockets hutting wind turbines in the war in Ukraine.

looking backwards in the supply chain for other externalities is a good point, but I'm not sure any energy production method is exempt from this?

Also, by the way, my perspective isn't about nuclear Vs X (wind turbines etc) - I like all the ones that are net clean and useful in different circumstances as part of a mix.

I'm just addressing the narrower point about whether nuclear per se is a net benefit for society, which I believe it is, massively.
