Orion, i think you focus too much on bashing nuclear power, instead of actually realizing just how promising it is. The submarines that operate near your base run on nuclear power. Shouldnt everyone on board have cancer if it was so hard isolating them?
Having just done a considerable amount of research on nuclear power, it really isnt that hard to contain nuclear radiation within the reactor chamber. besides, on an ssto, you could remove the waste between flights (perhaps robotically), and replace the control rods. It takes very little fuel to produce a great deal of power, so terrestrial distances shouldnt pose a problem.
