Unknown to most, the United States has an operating deep permanent geologic repository for nuclear waste, called the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, or WIPP.

In fact, more nuclear waste has gone into WIPP than was ever destined for that other famous nuclear repository, Yucca Mountain.
Maybe some company could offer a reprocessing service that gives the utility a smaller quantity of waste for the repository plus some nuclear fuel to help offset the cost.
