The EOL PV products are just as dangerous as radiation; lead and cadmium poisoning are nasty businesses.
If they were held to the same safety standards as nuclear waste it would require containment; the risk of harm is greater (especially after accounting for volume). PV waste isn't held to that silly standard because then it would be impossible to produce solar panels.
If nuclear waste were contained using the same standard of acceptable harm as solar panels the cost would be a rounding error.
