Radioactivity is not toxicity.
It's slightly used fuel rather than waste and it's slightly less radioactive than before (uranium fuel decays to fast decaying isotopes or non-radioactive elements, rather than generating anything).
You can reprocessing it endlessly or let it cool down for a few years and dig a deep hole in a tectonically stable area and throw it back into the ground it came from and then problem solved - although politics tries to stop either from happening.
Which children have been poisoned from decommissioned fuel (spoiler, none as plant operators have to deal with the slightly used fuel and cannot just dump it unlike coal fly ash)?

Wrong fuel grade.
You need to enrich uranium to a much higher level to make a bomb than what is used in power reactors.
To make plutonium you need a breeder reactor rather than a normal power reactor.
A controlled amount of radiation above the baseline like what nuclear employees get appears to reduce cancer occurrence.
>small modular reactors
Not efficient, but those will have "walk away and ignore" safety.
