Regarding mining, I'll share below chart. As you can clearly see, the amount of resources needed is, by far, smallest for nuclear. But I agree mining in general needs to be improved. Abysmal working conditions and imperialist exploitative relations need to be attacked. This goes for all mining though.

As for land use, you're incorrect regarding solar. I've included a second chart, this time from Our World in Data, for your convenience.

I'm not sure how nuclear power inherently perpetuates private property and imperialism? I already explained that renewables have similar (but bigger in scale, as more resources are needed) problems in third world countries. For example the child miners in Congo mining cobalt. Furthermore, I would argue that a decentralised grid powered by solar and wind would actually create a petty bourgeois proprietor system of electricity. This is indeed a political problem.

As for bombs: civilian nuclear reactors aren't the best way to make bombs (it is at best a theoretical possibility). Therefore, this is hardly an argument against civilian nuclear energy.
