We in the US had a plan, store it way deep under Yucca Mountain. The most likely worst case scenario is that there's a seismic event which makes thousands of tons of nuclear waste permanently inaccessible, buried in a mountain. That's concrete encased, sealed steel casks buried in a bloody mountain. That's not a lot to actually worry about. Plus, with reactor designs like fast breeders, you reuse a lot of the waste. And even with old designs, it's STILL less radioactive than coal.
