The typical nuclear power station has a generating capacity of perhaps 2GW, and produces a few cubic metres of high-level waste a year. I think you'll find, that if you compare that to the environmental impact of producing 2GW of generating capacity of solar panels, the nuclear solution comes out quite comfortably ahead in terms of "greenness".
