It's not deadly for millions of years.
When recycled the actual waste isotopes are very dangerous for the first 40 years.
After as little as 100 years stable element isotopes like iridium, platinum, rhodium could be extracted from the waste and used commercially.
Plutonium has a half life of something like 88,000 it could be dangerous for millions of years but plutonium is fuel, not waste.
