You could throw it in the fucking ocean and it would be better than coal plants, and arguably better than natural gas.

You could grind it up and intentionally pump it into the air, and it still would likely kill a tiny portion of the number of people killed by coal plants.

I mean a whole lot of coal plants do pump uranium dust into the air. If you did it with the nuclear waste you'd pump worse isotopes into the air, but the volume would be tiny.

Hell, I'd bet you could mix it into soft drinks and sell it as "Nuka Cola Quantum" and it'd still be significantly less deadly than coal.
