That is certainly an issue. Easiest political solution I see for that is to pay France to take the small amounts of waste. They have a massive nuclear program and have this shit down.

The other thing we need to solve with nuclear plants has been the inability to mass produce them due to overregulation. Every one built now is a bespoke design, rather than one design built hundreds of times, where workers, knowledge, and spare parts are all interchangeable. It balloons costs as every plant is unique. It doesn’t have to be this way.
