I don't understand why your comment was downvoted. If humans haven't transitioned into nuclear waste eating flying robots within a couple of thousand years, that's because they then have managed to go extinct, and in that case, whatever nuclear material that might leak into a nearby lake will only affect some fish and the occasional moose walking by (and these are creatures that we, today, kill for food, so it doesn't seem like most people care about them all that much).
Caring about how future generations of humans will handle our nuclear waste is akin to someone 2000 years ago being worried that leaving a heap of rocks somewhere would be to much of a hazzle for us to get rid off.
