The spent-fuel waste is roughly one barrel per reactor per year - not a lot and easily managed.
There is a lot of very-low risk waste (ie of the same radioactivity as bananas) which really doesn't not need to be treated like life threatening material as it is today - and is much more voluminous. The amount of that stuff depends on what the local regulations are making plants dispose of (eg some places force plant employees to throw out their uniforms every week).
