that IF DPF works as desired, if not energy multiplication from fission of waste and of course heat engines will be needed to achieve energy positive function. I would argee deep sea storage is a great option in theory but politically it a nightmare all the environmental groups would have a orgasm of outrage, you could more easily convince them with destroying nuclear waste then storing it where it could leak out (no matter how unlikely that is, they will cry murder over it)

We are kind of working on the FF/DPF assumption, here. And subduction zones are those areas where the ocean floor is being drawn down beneath the continental plates, and merging with the mantle. Lots and lots of half-lives later, some of it may resurface in volcanic lava, but it is LITERALLY millions of years.

Pandering to public ignorance must come to an end somewhere.
