I read a DoE report years ago, published well before I was born saying that when the unwanted nuclear waste isotopes are removed from nuclear fuel that they lose 99.9% of their radioactivity after 40 years then at 200 years it's only marginally above background.
The belief that all nuclear waste always stays furiously radioactive for thousands of years is nothing more than sensational lies and ignorance.
It will stay very dangerous for thousands of years if the 90% of useable fuel and the less than 10% of waste isotopes contaminating the fuel are not separated from each other.
Trust me you can't even comprehend how dangerous spent nuclear fuel is.
If people had the faintest idea how dangerous this stuff is they would demand it be recycled immediately and any one who tried to stop the recycling process be jailed and charged as a terrorist.
