The fuel source for fission nuclear reactions is very limited, having been most likely produced in supernovae of tremendously gigantic stars. Uranium ore is very limited and only found much at all in Canada, Australia, and Kazakhstan. But the MORE correct answer is the waste issue with fission reactions. The half-lives of many of the isotopes created after it is "spent" continues to be dangerously radioactive for thousands of years. Go with the radioactive waste as the answer.
