The amount of high level nuclear is overstated and over-exaggerated it's common for people to refuse the actual figures.
20 years for half a million homes. And that's an old generation reactor which is less efficient with fuel usage and not even considering that something like 98% of it can be reprocessed into useable fuel if the incentive was there. The reason its not is the same reason old solar panels aren't reprocessed into new panels: It's cheaper and easier right now to just produce new ones.
This pic doesn't include the less active waste and the hulidng materials of the reactor, thus it's misleadig to claim this is everything that needs to be stored.
