  1. power on demand is a problem for nuclear. they only really work with baseload generation. you just can't turn them on and off quick enough to manage spikes in demand. On fuel though, new powerplants and better fuel supply management would reduce the need for u235. almost all smr designs use either small amounts of highly enriched uranium 235 or thorium/uranium blends, further if we finish the reprocessing fuel cycle we could feed our reactor waste into more reactors burning it all down until we've got nothing reactive left but currently only russia and china have fast reactors capable of using reactor waste
