But now I hear top scientists saying there are no safe levels of radiation and I don't want to end up someone else's mistake. Nor do we!!!

There is plenty stockpiled even now awaiting a solution to the problem of long term disposal. There is medical requirements for nuclear material which generates waste requiring disposed of in similar sites to the waste from nuclear power stations or nuclear power plants on submarines. People tend to see disposal of waste as a horror to be avoided at all costs. It can also be seen as an opportunity. When something unpleasant has to be done, financial compensation is often used to sweeten the unpalatable pill. The local community around the site of a long term disposal site should be generously compensated by the rest of the country. If a community took a serious look at how they could improve their infrastucture and facilities with generous funding they may take a different view of the matter.
