The problem is, no-one wants the nuclear waste. This needs to be

Harry is scientifically illiterate:http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~blc/book/chapter11.html The waste produced from a nuclear plant is different from
coal-burning wastes in two very spectacular ways. The first is in the
quantities involved: the nuclear waste is 5 million times smaller by
weight and billions of times smaller by volume.


And how much more dangerous?


There is no difference between natural radiation and the stuff produced
by reactor waste. If you are exposed to enough bad things happen.

The main difference is how likely you are to be exposed.
You are far less likely to be exposed to reactor waste than to natural
radiation.
