The waste produced by a nuclear power plant is orders of magnitude less than what a coal power plant produces. Even if we only look at radioactive waste - coal power plants produce more of it, only instead of being stored in a special underground site it is dispersed into the atmosphere giving us cancer.
So yes, nuclear waste is a serious issue, but let's not forget that the alternatives have major environmental costs as well.
