Types

Type Problems if scaled up
Fuel scarcity Weapons proliferation Nuclear waste
Conventional nuclear power Yes No Yes
Small nuclear reactors Yes Yes Yes
Uranium-238 breeder reactors No Yes No
Thorium-232 breeder reactors No No No
Hydrogen fusion (not viable yet) No No No

So far, it seems that thorium is the only nuclear power that could really scale up enough to replace all fossil fuels.
