There is currently no viable plan to deal with this waste, which will have to be managed and guarded for time scales that are longer than there have been humans, tens of thousands of years, at the taxpayers expense.

This is not true. There are plenty of viable plans. The easiest of which is reprocessing.

Reprocessing is not a solution, it is prohibitively expensive and compounds the waste problem tenfold and creates a whole lot of more very dangerous radioactive waste in ways that make it even more difficult to manage, while being a huge proliferation risk while only recycling a small portion of the waste.
