They had written that you could fit the entire world's waste on a football field. I had not interpreted that as specifically referring to high level nuclear waste.

Come on, even the comment above it specifically mention waste generated by nuclear power and its management

The comment mentioned Homer (glowing green rods), I don’t recall any episode where Springfield deals with socks from radiology departments nearby. That kind of obfuscation is kinda par for the course any time you bring up nuke stuff though, folks don’t realize it’s a political problem not an engineering one and most of the anti nuke talking points are fabricated for fearmongering
