That is actually the hint it isn't a problem. It is being treated as though it isn't a problem and that is working.
If it were actually a problem, someone would have to do something about it. The volumes are so small they can simply be stored in an ad-hoc matter.
It is a mystery why people get so fixated on the waste. It is very hard to articulate a problem apart from the fact that it goes away eventually (unlike most waste which sits there pretty much forever). We produce a lot of dangerous substances; nuclear waste isn't the worst of them.
