Things like this are part of why I think the requirement for 10 thousand year containment of the materials at nuclear waste sites is a silly one:

Note: this isn't even true nanotechnology. In fact, it's almost a classical-chemical approach to removing the contaminant, though it does rely on the molecule's shape to some extent.
