Why can’t nuclear waste either be neutralized or recycled in some way? I know the US is sitting on a rediculous amount of waste, so why haven’t they devised a way to make it less toxic to the environment and safer to either store or dispose of?

They get shoved in, for lack of a better term, “super barrels” and buried in Yucca Mountain. Not perfect but a decent solution. Still a cleaner, safer, cheaper option over coal.
