I wouldn’t be worried. Nuclear waste is fairly easy to detect and carries a unique signature from the reactor that it came from. If an operator starts dumping waste, they’re going to be caught very quickly.
I'm super pro nuclear energy But at the same time people are stupid and that kind of scares me
US Navy reactors are run by 18-year-olds supervised by 25-year-olds so far pretty good track record.
