FYI: There are generally five types of toxicities: chemical, biological, physical, radioactive and behavioural.

Toxicity at least in scientific literature only refers to chemical toxicity. What even would be "physical toxicity"?!

To be fair radioactive toxicity stands a bit out because it is (in your wording) much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much more toxic than anything else possibly including 'forever chemicals'.

If you went to eat unenriched uranium, you would die sooner (as in from smaller dose) from chemical poisoning than radiation damage (uranium is also chemically toxic). People not educated about the actual dangers of radiation tend to greatly over exaggerate its dangers.

Follow up: How long does it need to be safely stored? Please note the number of years.

For how long do you need to store toxic (by your weird definition I guess chemically toxic?) substances like lead?

Since they don't have a half-life, until the heat death of the universe. So why does storage time only suddenly matter for nuclear waste?

Nuclear energy is not cheaper nor safer, you're just kicking a toxic, radioactive can down the road.

Nuclear energy killed fewer people per kilowatt generated than hydro, wind, gas, and coal. Its just people like you spreading misinformation.

Here is a good video why nuclear waste is not the issue people like you make it out to be:
