The other phase of nuclear power which generally escapes public scrutiny is the mining and processing of nuclear fuel. Processing the ore creates mountains of low-level radioactive waste, which typically gets into the workers clothes, lungs, and is brought back to share with their households, and relying on countries such as Niger or Namibia only compounds the problem in someone else's back yard.
