I don’t think you understand how durable and well sealed those casks are. It’s not fall off the side of the train and break open kind of tough, it’s get hit by the train going full speed and the train loses kind of tough.
Also, in the best case scenario, none of that shit goes back into the ground. We just burn it, or turn it into plastic, and it stays in our lives forever.
And how is the nuclear waste supposed to get there? Car, truck, or train will still have a spill

Let’s not pretend other fossil fuels don’t have the same problem.
