Gee, you'd have to be careful not to put all those waste dumps together
on one side of the moon, or else they might reach a critical mass and
explode and drive the moon out of its orbit to wander through the galaxy
and encounter all kinds of aliens and weird things...

Seriously, reactors do have the advantage of generating power (and much
needed heat) during the long lunar night.  I would suppose that both
solar and nuclear sources would have their places on the moon.
Remember that the ALSEP packages used radioisotope generators.
