If nuclear waste is radioactive, it means that it can be refined into usable products for power production.
The dangerous stuff that's left over is dangerous because it was formally cheaper to bury it and mine more than to refine it .
Not to mention the majority of nuclear reactors were designed to create weapons grade materials which was an equally wasteful activity creative even more waste that needed refinement back to usable fuel.
Now that's coming to an end since power production is far more important. There may be a point Where we will see ourselves digging up nuclear waste sites to recover the left over refuel.
