They also have far less waste to dispose of for far less time. still an issue, but 80% less waste that only needs ~300 years to break down compared to 10,000 years for conventional is good.
Ten thousand years? Is that the Fukushima meltdown situation?

Depends. Some of the byproducts have half life of 30 years, transuranic waste is 1000. Uranium 234 is 24000, so Fukishima is going to be radioactive a loooong time.
