Nuclear power is green energy.
Technically yes, it still creates some waste to be dealt with. I guess arguably you have the same with decommissioned turbines, solar panels, etc with other forms.
It's the only form of energy generation that internalizes all of its own costs- including disposing waste and insuring cleanup.
If we forced oil companies to internalize the cost of fracking casualty and wastewater reinjection alone, gas would be $50/gal.
