The achievement is another key step — albeit in a journey that may take decades to complete — in the quest for an unlimited source of cheap and clean power.
Clean and expensive are different things. Sure, it produces waste that has been expensive to contain (though it shouldn’t be), but it is contained. Meanwhile most other alternatives produce waste that is not contained and they don’t pay for that. Nuclear fission is still clean, regardless of if it’s the cheapest option.
