ABC's The Signal podcast took a look at this a few weeks back. 
https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/the-signal/is-there-a-case-for-nuclear-power/13616764

Their guest argued that aside from the waste and safety issues, nuclear 
is expensive to operate, generates a lot of carbon pollution during 
construction, and will take too long to build to help with our carbon 
commitments anyway.


Sadly The Signal will finish up permanently in December.
