Modern nuclear fission already solves this issue fairly adequately. We’ve already developed numerous ways to minimize and use nuclear waste, including reusing it in various other forms and even reactor designs. The actual amount of waste that doesn’t have an alternate use is pretty small. We just haven’t really attempted it. Most currently operating nuclear plants date back to designs from the 60s and 70s.

Not to mention things like modern Advanced Geothermal systems. Some of those designs even involve reusing existing old oil drill sites, and the same workers because it’s the same type of drilling. Don’t even need large amounts of retraining.
