No it's about nuclear waste and where to store it, it's about how expensive it is to build a nuclear power plant (bc of regulations so they don't goo boom) and it's about how much you have to subsidize it to make the electricity it produces affordable at all. Economically it's just not worth it. Renewables are just WAY cheaper.

Fire's waste is just all particulates in the air which we all share.

I am Jack's Lungs. I breath in soot and particles and eventually they cause cancer and I kill Jack.

That's how that shit works, homes. Not a thing to "idk whatev" about.
