As with many things, hollyweird overhypes the facts surrounding nuclear waste; In reality, 95% of nuclear waste has low level radioactivity (which dissipates/breaks down in less than 5 years)
the 5% of high level radioactive waste spends about 10 years in a spent fuel pool before being transferred to a dry cask storage facility; the total amount is so insignificant compared to other forms of waste, it's barely even worth mention.
