Radioactive waste disposal is better than ever now.

But is it good enough?

Breeder reactors reuse the waste as fuel until there's a significantly smaller amount of actual waste.

I imagine if we actually committed to funding nuclear tech, we'd get even better at disposing of it.

Shit, why not send it into space with Elon's rockets? Only half joking.
