The spent nuclear fuel is easy and safe to dispose of.

Rowan Hampton · Answer 2

The spent nuclear fuel is easy and safe to dispose of is not a potential problem of using more nuclear energy.

This isn't a potential problem because the disposal is straightforward and can be done safely almost anywhere. However, final disposal would be best if done in a deep geological area.
