We already have the technology to do this. Accelerator based reactors would be able to burn up the Actinides, which are the major long lived radioisotopes. As previously mentioned, muon based fusion reactors creating fast neutrons might also be used. BTW, I'm surprised you didn't mention the possibility of using LENR to remediate the waste. ;) [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk local asymmetry = temporary success
