Dealing with waste is also a major problem with most kinds of nuclear reactors. Safely dealing with spent fuel is expensive. For example, the largest meltdown in Fukushima was in a spent fuel storage pool.
Fast reactors and liquid thorium reactors would produce about one percent as much waste for the same amount of energy.
