How to do nuclear power with only the first four sciences? (sopuli.xyz)

I set up a nuclear reactor after automating the first four sciences. But even though I researched everything I could up to that point, there is seemingly no way to set it up in a sustainable way. Both U-238 and spent fuel cells are piling up.

Naturally, the spent fuel cells are so little that they are less of a problem, but the U-238 requires a lot of steel chests to store.

It seems like without automating further sciences, I am unable to solve the U-238 problem. Is there any other way out, or do I need to automate more sciences before actually using nuclear?

You keep saying the first 4 science.

You can do yellow or purple one you have red, green, and blue.

You choose to do yellow after blue. I've always chosen purple next after blue. Yellow is good for robot logistics. Purple is so much more value IMO. Faster assembly machines, faster belts, effect transmission (which further speeds up assembly machines).

??? First four are red, green, black, blue.
