Nuclear waste is radioactive in terms of being very harmful to human health for 100,000 years. It doesn't return to the background radiation that natural uranium has for upwards of 1,000,000 years.

If we dispose of it in Yucca mountain for example, who will be able to read the operations manual in 100,000?

Are you anti-nuclear or just ignorant?
