There's fungi who like to live near it, but nothing digests and destroys radioactive waste. To do so would either involve alchemy or colliders. A radioactive atom stays an unstable isotope until it absorbs or emits something.

That's what people don't really get about radioactive contamination of soils and such. Burn it in a furnace? Radioactive smoke.
