I've often wondered if neutralising radioactive waste is a lesser technical challenge than fusion.

It is. But fusion is much cooler and doesn't have the bad reputation that nuclear power does so funding is much easier to obtain for it.
Unfortunately society doesn't want safe nuclear, they want zero nuclear.
Massive blunder by humanity IMO and shameful that environmentalist parties that were founded to oppose nuclear continue to do so today for primarily historical/emotional reasons rather than hard facts.
