Several points here: 1. Most waste from nuclear plants is contained, unlike coal/gas. 2. The amount of the waste itself is miniscule, the amount of uranium needed to produce all the energy you will ever use throught your time on this planet will fit in a can of coke [1] - for comparison - as shown for example in [2], it would take 20 tonnes of coal pulverized into atmosphere to get the same amount of energy. 3. Being highly radioactive means decaying fastest, so most dangerous are also the short-lived. 4. Unlike coal/gas, there are many projects to use the waste from nuclear plants to use spent fuel from one kind of plant into another.
