It needs to be "run" as long as wastes keep coming in, then they are design to last for geological times with no human intervention.

Nuclear power killed less people than dams. If you trust a country with dams, nuclear power is a step up in terms of safety. And if US and China switched to nuclear, we already would be a long way on our path to solving the climate crisis.
