They made a decision to depend upon it many years ago.  The technology 
can be much safer than it is by choosing a different fuel... thorium vs 
uranium.  What we do have was chosen in order to produce plutonium for 
weapons.  That's what produces the really long lived, highly radioactive 
waste.  Maybe a bit of a stretch but some believe thorium reactors can 
be made small and safe enough to be used as neighborhood power sources. 
  There's no meltdown scenario at all.
