Hanford waste is radionuclides dissolved in acid to get pure plutonium out. It leaks. It's from the Cold War nuclear weapons program. [1]

Commercial nuclear waste is solid ceramic Uranium/fission product-oxide. It does not leak.

That's a weapons production cite. In most post I tried to separate civilian power waste from that.

If we look at civilian power production in the last 40 years its basically a non issue.
