I believe it is already safe, in the form of PWR, BWR, CANDU, and AGR types.

I'm pretty sure that nuclear energy is not as safe to use as solar energy is. I wonder if the Japanese people are anxious to escape their reliance on nuclear energy, now that they have experienced a serious meltdown event.

According to statistical data nuclear energy is the safest. It only causes 0.04 deaths per terrawatt hour while wind and solar energy cause over 10. There have been meltdowns and disasters, but nuclear energy is fairly safe.
How is a nuclear power plant safe?
Nope. Nuclear power is very enviromentally friendly and very efficient, but accidents can cause great damages. For instance, one of the major problems with the tsunami in Japan was all the nuclear plants that were destroyed.
Yes.
It can be if plants are designed inherently safe and operated responsibly.

Toxic Waste is formed is by leftover energy from Nuclear Power Plants. That energy is not used because it has no charge. Then it gets drained in the sewers. Now, scientists are trying to find out how to get rid of it in a safe way.
nuclear reactors are not very safe at all. the nuclear energy buisness basically went to crap after the three mile island accident, because people decided the risks outweigh the benefits
Nuclear energy, within the constraints of current technology, is the only viable and ecologically safe source of non-fossil power on the large scale.

I think it is pretty reliable these days, and safe, but many people do not agree that it is safe, and it is certainly expensive to build.

I believe nuclear energy is a very good energy source. Since we are running out of fossil fuels and our environment needs improvement, nuclear energy can meet these needs. Nuclear energy does not pollute, but it produces radioactive waste. This waste is taken care of in a safe way, not being exposed to people. If a person were to use nuclear energy for his or her whole life, the waste would be only one pound and would fit in a soda can; whereas with coal it would fill a line of coal cars from New York to California. And there was never an accident in nuclear energy that couldn't be prevented. Everything is extra safe.
Solar and wind energy is the most safe. Of the renewable energies, nuclear can produce nuclear waste and go critical, while hydroelectric power can displace many acres of land. Wind and solar energy produce no waste, do not pollutes, and do not displace.
There is no agency that officially monitors nuclear weapons around the world. Safeguards are based on the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons which was established in 1970. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was formed in 1957 and works to promote only safe use of nuclear energy. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) works to make sure people in the United States are safe from issues related to nuclear energy use. The UN Office for Disarmament Affairs was founded in 1998 and has the goal of nuclear disarmament. Before the war in Iran, inspectors from the United Nations Security Council when to Iran to gather information on whether or not Iran was building nuclear weapons.
