Haven’t we made enough deep holes in the ground to easily bury it safely in many locations and never care?

We could arguably, there's even a company which wants to make that their business model, nuclear waste disposal by drilling super deep holes about 18 inches in diameter and sending the waste to the deep. That said, we are working on methods of reducing halflife, and making fuel for other reactors with the waste that other plants make.

Hell I mean once we are in space, we are most likely going to be shooting our nuclear waste off into the surface of the sun.
