Yes, building reactors is too expensive. However, that's mostly because the people building them in the US are utterly incompetent (source: I'm a Georgia Power ratepayer on the hook for Plant Vogtle 3 and 4) and also because every project has to fend off an army of unfounded lawsuits from misguided environmentalists.
The waste issue is mostly just fake: not only do we have a perfectly good place to put it that we refuse to use for stupid reasons, even that was unnecessary to begin with because we should be reprocessing it instead.
