I fail to understand how managing wastes remotely toxic to all forms of life for 500K years would be economicaly viable. This just calls for increasingly more power demand. It is hard to sell when there are alternatives that are cheaper, cleaner, more scalable, easier to build (eg offshore wind).
Look up the Finland deep geologic repository, it’s meant to be as passive as possible. Also nuclear waste isn’t nearly as dangerous as most people imagine it to be.

Well you see we store this nuclear waste in what we call breeder reactors and continue generating power
Last time I checked, they were actually spending energy to cool wastes during several years.

It’s only economically viable if we use the same thinking that got us here in the first place. Fuck the future.
