There's a pretty big difference between the two. Nuclear waste is always tracked and treated carefully. PFAS are on store shelves and in homes and in landfills and are entirely untracked. Nothing's being ignored, it's just an entirely differently kind of situation.

We don't use nuclear waste to make non stick pans and water resistant jackets.

Not non-stick pans.

But yes, they did make red Fiesta ware using what is effectively low-level nuclear waste:

But nuclear waste isn't going to be mass distributed?

History tells otherwise. Radioactive toothpaste was once a product...

I said it in current/future tense, why ignore all cotext.

What does 1920s product have to do with a now heavily regulated material?

Also, AFAIK the radium in the toothpaste wasn't waste from a reactor?

Watches and toothpaste are not enriched radioactive waste.

Iodine, Bananas, and Smoke detectors are radioactive too.
