The real crime here is that it's not waste, in any meaningful sense. It can be and should be reprocessed into fuel. The "Fast Breeder Reactor" fuel cycle does this. Jimmy Carter stopped that in the USA by executive order, and no president since, including Reagan and Trump, has had the guts to rescind Carter's idiocy.
Yeah. In the video the guy talks about those designs, but not the stupid law that prevents it.
