Nuclear rarely ever perceived as a polluter in such discussions because there's not much waste compared to nearly everything else. The major problem is with its' very slow and expensive roll out and how gas\coal industries hate the guts of a technology that's proven effective - so Germany famously rolled their nuclear programs back and got dependent on russian gas, thanks Schröeder (now works in russian oil companies, kek), Merkel and so-called greens.
