After more than 50 years of nuclear power plants in use we can say that there is no nuclear waste problem. The ‘waste’ has been stored above ground for decades and nothing has happened. It’s clearly safe. We should just keep doing what we’re doing. No need to dig expensive holes.

While I believe this is the most safe option right now - some candidate dumping grounds have failed spectacularly (the Asse), this of course only works as long we are vigilant and also pay the upkeep for storage locations for many millenia. Both from environmental and safety concerns.
