More radioactive waste products to store safely
Chemical energy does not change into nuclear energy. Chemical energy is associated with the bonds between atoms in molecules, whereas nuclear energy is associated with changes in the nucleus of an atom, such as nuclear fission or fusion.

Nuclear physics, fuel enrichment and fabrication, metallurgy, welding, instrumentation, chemistry, radiation measuring, and civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, to name a few, are areas of technology associated with nuclear energy.
No, it is not.
Nuclear accidents resulting in radiation leaks can be a potential problem of using more nuclear energy.
Yes, but it is a manageable problem
Not quite. The problem of getting rid of the nuclear waste has not been satisfactorily solved.
The major problem with using nuclear energy as bus fuel is the high cost and complexity of adapting nuclear power technology for transportation use. Additionally, handling and storing nuclear materials poses safety and security risks that are not typically associated with traditional bus fuels like gasoline or electricity. Lastly, the public perception of nuclear energy may make it unpopular for use in transportation applications.
