@Narf I work in the nuclear waste industry. We have areas to store it -- Yucca Mountain has been built and was studied for DECADES to make sure it was safe. (If you have issues with places like this, consider where existing nuclear waste is stored -- at the plants themselves). If you don't like storage, recycling nuclear waste to bring the half life down from 10,000 years to 500 years.
Many of the fears about nuclear energy come from the fossil fuel industry trying to displace it.
