Why can’t we dump it into a volcano or yeet it into space? Or for that matter, if it’s still radioactive, doesn’t that mean there is still more juice we could squeeze out of it?

Volcano: Total lack of control over where it goes.
Space: SUUUUUUUPER expensive to move mass into space
Still has juice: This is actually a thing! Some newer reactor types are able to use refined waste/spent fuel from other reactors, thus increasing the amount of power we can generate for a given amount of reaction material.
