It's happening, look it up.
France also recycles its radioactive waste and is able to recover 96% of usable material.
Just like renewables, advances in nuclear technology continue apace.
Nuclear is on the table. Deal with it.
It's happening, really?
Ok, give me an example of 1 long term nuclear waste facility where nuclear waste is currently (or in the past) being buried a kilometre underground.
France may claim to "recycle" radioactive waste, in nuclear terms this is called reprocessing and actually, according to the US Department of Energy, leads to more radioactive waste.
Nuclear technology does not continue apace: fusion has been 20 years away for, what, 50 years? The current reactor technology is very similar to reactors built decades ago, fast breeder reactors are still very problematic and very few in number. Thorium reactors remain a pipe dream and would still produce high-level radioactive waste.
Nuclear is not on the table in Australia, is not expanding (even the article you linked to claimed 54 nuclear reactors under construction, but also pointed to 186 being shut down permanently) Nuclear power is no solution to climate change, leaves us with a tens of thousands of years legacy of toxic radioactive waste, and, in any case, is contracting not expanding.
Deal with it.
