Waste storage would not be an issue if we were willing to accept "good enough for now and the next thousand years". Glassification alone can provide this. The glass billets of diluted waste could be stacked like cordwood in some out of the way place and forgotten for centuries without presenting a tangible risk.
Waste is NOT a technological issue. It's a political football.
