*Push for new UK nuclear plants lacks facility for [radioactive] waste.*

It is hard to be sure that a radioactive waste storage facility will continue operating for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, especially if it will require continual attention during that time. Especially since we don't know whether technological civilization will still exist 50 or 100 years from now.

Besides which, nuclear power plants are so expensive that it would be preferable to build renewable generation plus energy storage facilities, and avoid the nuclear waste entirely.
