How much more dangerous would that be compared to space normally?

Space usually stops being dangerous once you get into some atmosphere. Nuclear waste doesn't.
Space is very irradiated, and direct sunlight is radiation itself. Anything you add there will be a drop in the ocean. Atmosphere is not sufficient to resolve space radiation, you need a magnetosphere.
You don't take sunlight inside with you when you enter some place.

You take neutron radiation (well, its consequences), but that is pretty much non-existent when compared to nuclear waste.
