For huge countries as like the US: Maybe. You have enough space to also store the trash somewhere for thousands of years.

For small countries, like most of Europe, where the population density is way higher: hard pass.

People also seem to be forgetting that there are a lot of crazy dictators with bombs right now.

I'm quite sure renewables use up way way way way more space than nuclear does, it's like, one of the main issues.
