There is no solution to the question of long-term containment. There is no means by which the existing waste can even be transported and accumulated to any extent for economically practicable encasement that does not guarantee eternally disastrous mishap.

If one thinks fossil fuel pollution is problematic, nuclear waste is immeasurably more so. Nuclear energy is the biggest technological fraud to come from the cold war.
