Nuclear involves ores. Uranium is relatively stable in it's natural state (mostly U238), can be enriched to fuel. It can be treated like normal rocks until its enriched (U235). Natural uranium's chemical properties as a heavy metal are more dangerous than it's radioactive properties (weakly radioactive). So you can stockpile the ore before it's milled into cake, and enriched through hex.

I am going to say that the refueling cycle for nuclear power is rather slow, and thus bad. A plant can operate for a time between refuel events. Thus, like coal and oil, plus not being able to interrupt production easily, they are bad. The "popular" options are unreliable or can be externally interrupted.
