Nuclear waste is very easy to deal with. It’s physically small, and easy to transport.

It has a long half life, but a deep shaft filled with cement in a remote area does the trick.

There’s no kicking the can down the road.

Oddly, it seems that finding that deep shaft that is known to be geologically stable for at least a couple of half lives is fairly difficult, to say nothing of the issue of transporting the material from the reactor to said shaft.

The obstacles aren’t scientific or engineering. Plenty of safe places to put it. The problem is NIMBYism.
