The """"problem """ of nuclear waste was solved in the 60s. Nuclear waste isn't some green goo dripping out of barrels, it's small radioactive particles mixed into giant blocks of ceramics or plastics, encased in steel containers. That waste is going nowhere.

The radiation is so diluted and well-contained if you stand right next to any of the storage vats with a Geiger counter you won't see higher than background levels.

That is not a solution, that is a stop gap.

I can be ok with nuclear power AND be concerned about long term problems.
