There is also the fact that if we used current fission reactions to produce all human power we would use up the Earth's supply of fissionable uranium in a matter of decades. There is an interesting chapter in this book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Project-Sunshine-science-fuel-world/dp/1848315139. There are other reactions available such as with thorium but they are not mature technologies because historically fission has been developed for creating plutonium for nuclear weapons with energy generation as a side effect. Fission plants also require a lot of specialised nuclear physicists to run, we would need hundreds of thousands to produce power for the whole world. I think tokamak/stellarator fusion will be the energy source of humanity in a hundred years or so though.
