Bradley Crowell, former attorney for NRDC, and now an NRC Commissioner, raises the anti-nuclear standard of stopping all nuclear reactor development until the inherently political problem of where to disposes of spent nuclear fuel is solved.
Hint: this is the old "bottle stopper "strategy used by the anti-nuclear movement.

The sad thing is that the problem WAS already solved as the political branch of the US government decided, in light of so much analysis, to legally identify Yucca Mountain as the nuclear waste depository.
Unfortunately, the political decision was administratively, and almost certainly illegally, overridden by Obama.
And so we were set back decades and left with a mess on our hands.
