One of the "waste" problems is also caused by a lack of "recycling". American reactors are forced to store their spent fuel, rather than have it reprocessed into 95% new fuel and 5% waste. The highly radioactive wastes decay quickly, so nuclear waste is turning out not to be such a large problem as, well, "as we were told". The really nasty sites, like Hanford, are government sites. Removing limited liability might kill nuclear power, but I think it more likely that reactors built will be built effectively and cleanly instead.
