It's not too late. Gates has a company called Terrapower that have some real advanced tech where they have the ability to use spent rods so no storage. They also dont need any power to keep the nuke cool which lowers the risk of meltdown and they are much cheaper to build. Also, need to go with waste to power plants which can be built quick and create half the pollution a waste dump uses plus you dont have to ship the waste to china to just bury
