Waste always was an overblown problem. The amount generated is small, particularly compared to the amount of energy generated.

When do you see waste being a problem? 100, 1000, 10000 years?

If you see that waste becomes a problem before the sun explodes, then it is not an overblown problem.

You just dig a hole in the ground in a suitable location (e.g. one that hasn't budged in a million year), fill up the hole and that's it.

Not exactly rocket surgery.

My Halloween pumpkin is also going to decay before the sun explodes but that is neither here no there to whether the problem of dealing with its waste is overblown.
Never? It's already a solved problem.
