> Setting aside safety concerns

Nuclear is the safest energy source per kilo of fuel mined and spent.

There are numerous ways to look at safety here. All else being equal, non-nuclear-weapon states wishing to arm with nuclear weapons would hate a total ban on nuclear energy, due to dual-use mining acting as a cover for their arms development.

Is that a sufficient justification for actually imposing such a ban? I personally don’t think so, but reasonable people can disagree on that.
