But its not like you need tons of active management of that waste. Its literally stuff that stands around and does basically nothing.
You could literally just put that waste somewhere in the desert, put it there and leave. The chance that that waste ever actually harms somebody is basically zero.
Basically any cave that isn't likely to flood with massive amounts of water is fine.

You don't even need a Breeder for this, a Burner can get there as well.
