Climate activists are usually very against nuclear energy and I don’t think I understand why. Does anyone know?

Arguments I’m somewhat familiar with:

sometimes it’s used as a cover for developing nuclear weapons
nuclear waste is very bad for living things.

What are the main historical moral arguments?

They are a rusisan roulette of catastrophic disasters exasperated by climate change, geopolitical events, human error, money holes, and enshittification that inevitability follows crap-it-all-ism. The more you build, the greater the inevitability of another Fukushima or worse. Despite the rose colored glasses of them arrogantly claiming they rebuilt the unsinkable and "trust us" it won't sink.
