Research what France does. They recycle the waste because it is not waste, it just needs processing and can be used again.

They're not reducing their waste to zero, so that's not a full solution to the waste problem.
Russia recycles nuclear waste into nuclear fuel.

> The reactor core itself was refuelled and is now using 60% mixed uranium-plutonium oxide fuel, supplied by TVEL and manufactured at its Zheleznogorsk site. The plutonium for this was produced from uranium during the operation of other nuclear power plants and recovered from the used fuel assemblies through reprocessing.
