The source you give is comparing the direct surrounding of opperating power plants, it is not talking about the nuclear waste. no on argues living near an (safely) operating power plant is too dangerous, its that you get nuclear waste which is the problem. Sure you can wheel it of to somewhere else, but then its a problem there.

I just want to see a comparison between the waste, that's all. If it really is worse I'll accept it as worse

I can imagine It's easier to manage nuclear waste than fly ash
