Nearly ever country with nuclear power (except the US) processes the 'waste' since only a small portion of it is actual waste. Most of it is U-238 (harmless).

Nearly ever country with nuclear power (except the US) processes the 'waste' since only a small portion of it is actual waste. Most of it is U-238 (harmless). Some is useful - plutonium, and isotopes that are used in medicine. Only a tiny amount is harmful and unusable radioactive material that needs to be contained and buried. You can thank the Carter administration for this blunder.
