I saw an interesting article a while back that proposed using the tactical nuclear weapons we have to dispose of the radioactive waste. The fallout from good thermonukes is apparently very small, and if you bury the bomb and set it off around a bunch of radioactive waste, the blast will destroy the waste with a relatively small amount of fallout. Also, lots of things are radioactive, but they may not be pure enough to be useful unless enriched further. You could probably enrich it, but at this juncture it is probably cheaper to simply get new fuel than to reprocess waste. Just my two cents.
