its actually simpler than that. my understanding is that the more dangerous stuff burns down by then. if something has a half life long enough to still be around thousands of years from now its decaying too slowly to be really dangerous. also, new nuclear tech is under development that is supposed to burn waste as fuel. the likelyhood this is even going to be an issue in twenty years is pretty small. so its really just an interesting problem. something for the philosophers and psychologists to mull over.
