The challenge with nuclear waste is that you can’t just throw money at it and expect it to work. Radioactivity and chemical toxicity persists for hundreds and thousands of years. What is needed to design, build and maintain such sites is beyond “extreme engineering” and also very expensive.
Who knows... perhaps in a few years we can dump the nuclear waste into space.
