Has anywhere actually solved the issue of waste handling?

Uranium can and does get recycled from one facility to the next, however there comes a point when it can't be reused anymore to gain any meaningful amount of energy and it still has radioactivity and ultimately buried somewhere. Though arguably still better than fossil fuels, that's an obvious and major drawback to nuclear.
