...but, I was furious with the UK government (noticed the little 'g' there...) and their recent budget talk about investing in nuclear power...and then having the balls to call it 'renewable energy' !

I mean....It isn't...and they know it!

Very angry about that. I did the marches, back in the early 80's, against nuclear power. My mind's not changed about it since then.

I'd say nuclear power has only gotten marginally safer since the 80s. But, what we've learned since then about fossil fuels and global warming changes the calculus. I now think that we need every method possible to wean ourselves off fossil fuels. Yes, there are risks storing nuclear fuel into the far future. but the present risks of fossil fuels outweigh them.
