Sure, the real issue is the small amount of crap which is so "hot" that if left uncooled it will melt and vitrify and slowly but surely sink down toward the earth core leaving being a trail of incredibly radiative contamination.

The chinese syndrome from the 1980s movie?

There is a trial to reuse some of these "condensed" leftovers, spent fuel rods etc with surgenerators

So less waste etc..but France has been at it for decades and not really going that well, they are also inherently instable in my opinion so while a standard reactor would not turn into a proper A bomb, just a wet radiactive firework, an EPR under failure might descend into a nice mushroomy explosion.

My knowledge is getting dated as i obviously did not do anything related here in oz, but i kept interest in tha domain.not aware of fundamental breakthrough in either implementation or design/concept .

so still dangerous, expensive and unless you want to produce nukes, or for specific purpose: ice breakers, submarines, not really worthwhile $.

Should we get nuclear power plant here? Not when we have plenty of gas, no fresh water for cooling and no expertise and plenty of Homer Simpson

.unless we want our own nukes?

Well on the last point, i would prefer in 2022  we had a few nukes onboard missiles instead of buying billions of obsolete technologies like F35... LOL and submarines....

Next we will buy horse armour for our cavalry and muskets

Have all a great week

None of the above will influence price of uranium next year?
