You're certainly correct. The only aspect of any nuclear-power project that I'm concerned with is waste. You can't just put spent nuclear fuel anywhere. Like any other currently operating power plant, you're going to have to store that fuel. Commercial power plants have to store them on site, currently. Intermediate storage areas are available, however, that can reduce the inventory of used fuel. It's the long-term storage that's the problem. There are theoretical technologies that can reduce the volume of nuclear waste, but heaven only knows when that will become feasible.
