Most would consider the massive amounts of nuclear waste (from spent fuel,
contaminated building materials from closed plants, and so on) a "problem."
People over many generations will have to deal with those waste products.
And, of course, this environmental polution is far worse than anything
generated by fossil-fuel burning plants. So, your claim above ("unlike the
nuclear plants...") is patently false.
