There might be chances that some of the waste gets valuable in the future.
Like wait a few generations, until it stops being radioactive. Or
extracting that resource is not cost effective, while the mine 2 systems

A TL6 world with a handful of TL10 shuttles for transport will
not be able to defend that site against all-TL10 corsairs. The
Traveller setting has pirates and "freelance" mercs.
If the TL6 world is on an important trade route, the Imperium might patrol
it, to keep the trade route safe, and the idea might work. In a true
backwater setting, you are correct.
