Reprocess it, salvage useful isotopes for known uses, keep a few others for research purposes, don't put it too far away because most of it could be useful in the future.

France literally does that. They reprocess 96% all of their used fuel back into usable fuel and useful materials.

  • Economically it's not interesting
  • It's one cycle only
  • Waste in output is even worst and more toxic
