Recycling the waste with fast reactors isn’t economical right now because uranium prices are so cheap.
It’s perfectly safe. SNF usually sits in a cooling pool for a few years and then is moved into dry casks shielded by steel and concrete. Has never killed a single person. Transporter all the time and extremely safe.

The waste is so safe you could literally put it in your backyard.
