I fail to understand how managing wastes remotely toxic to all forms of life for 500K years would be economicaly viable. This just calls for increasingly more power demand. It is hard to sell when there are alternatives that are cheaper, cleaner, more scalable, easier to build (eg offshore wind).

Well you see we store this nuclear waste in what we call breeder reactors and continue generating power
Ironically nuclear waste is more of a problem if you don’t build these.
Last time I checked, they were actually spending energy to cool wastes during several years.
By realising that what we now call waste will be the fuel source of the future. And also understanding that the renewables require a lot more area, material and energy to build than nuclear: https://robertbryce.substack.com/p/the-iron-law-of-power-density-part
