The spent nuclear fuel is easy and safe to dispose of is not a potential problem of using more nuclear energy.

This isn’t a potential problem because the disposal is straightforward and can be done safely almost anywhere. However, final disposal would be best if done in a deep geological area.

they remained in rural areas and worked at jobs such as lumbering or farming.
