If you're not reading the LJ of 
funranium and his fabulously funny and true stories of the nuclear industry, his time at the South Pole, and various sundry fiction bits, then you're a bad person with a cold heart.
Because you're missing stuff like this:
"The entire world adopted a scheme that the United States had developed in the late 1940s for their weapons program called PUREX that yanked the plutonium and uranium out of the mix.
Thus the world was saved from being buried under the weight of its nuclear waste. The volume of waste generated was greatly reduced and what was disposed of was much safer than it was originially. And there was much rejoicing.
If you were reading closely, you may have noticed that I wrote "pretty much all of them".
One nation looked at their nuclear waste, thought about the effort and expense need for reprocessing, and said, "Fuck it. Nevada's pretty big. Let's bury it.""
Tee-hee.
