The waste problem is solved. As with the rest of the nuclear discussion, it’s mostly hysteria.
Here’s a guy kissing nuclear waste. It’s a bit tongue in cheek on the surface, but he’s PhD and there is quality information in the video.

Try to list the countries with a permanent nuclear storage site. Pretty short list.
The technical front, however, really is fine.
All the high-level nuclear waste on Earth would fit in a 21m cube. The lower level stuff is substantially greater in volume, but overall this is one of the (IMO few) cases where nuclear proponent's arguments about energy density do actually matter.
And that means it's fine for the list of countries with a permanent nuclear storage site to be pretty short.
