The answer to the nuclear waste "problem" is that it doesn't matter.

If we took all of our nuclear waste, and put it directly into our food supply, this would be a better situation than what we are in now.

This is because of just how horrible coal is. Coal kills millions of people. Would taking our nuclear waste and feeding it to children cause millions of deaths? I think that's unlikely. Which means that it isn't as bad as coal.

Opposing alternatives is the same exact thing as supporting the status quo. Unless the alternative also kills millions of people, then it is better than what we have now.
