The fact that the diggers usually live, and die, in other countries than the final consumers' doesn't mean we don't care for their lives, does it?
Moreover, I wouldn't like to live and die near a disposal site. You know those plants produce tons of rejects each year, don't you? I mean such that will intensely irradiate for millenniums. Not counting, the contaminated waters...
