This is only for uranium and plutonium based nuclear power. There are others that don't produce weapons grade byproducts. Helium 3 for instance and other versions of uranium. Also cobalt is an option.

As long as we want to pay for power, it can be profitable, in the sense that we pay what we need and people who work there are paid fairly as well.
