An idea I have thought about, nuclear boosted geothermal power.

Geothermal power normally just use a simple borehole with a hose going down and then up again, coolant goes in the hole, gets heated up a few degrees and the can then be processed to heat a house.

What if we could run tubes near the nuclear waste that will keep producing heat for thousands of years?
