Also, spent nuclear fuel is very easy to safely dispose of, we just don't want to because:
A. It's useful and can be reprocessed into useful fuel once that's allowed and we can do it cheaply.
B. The media and public would throw a fit if people started dumping (glassed) nuclear waste on the ocean floor. Because the media and public are completely innumerate and cannot do things like multiplication required to calculate the less than 0.1% radioactivity increase the ocean would experience.
