I get out to the Hanford site in Washington State. The nearby nuke power plant has their 40(?) years of waste stored on-site - just a few hundred yards from the plant and admin offices where they can keep and eye on it and security is tight.

You could probably fit all of the waste (in their special containers behind the barbed wire) on two flatbed trucks. Pretty amazing - almost a perpetual motion machine to use that little fuel for how long it has been.

Even more amazing when you consider how little energy is extracted by solar and wind devices in comparison. Maybe the French have it right, France getting almost half of their electric power from nuclear plants.
