I have to say I agree 100% with the thrust of Kaku's argument that Element 92 is generally just a bad thing for humanity and we do not need and should not use it - especially now at this stage in our development. However his arguments that nuclear waste which is contained in the mountain in Nevada is a serious threat because in 10,000 years there might be another flood in that region is simply outlandish especially for someone of his level of vision.
If we destroy our civilisation, then maybe it will be a problem - but we will be screwed anyway
If we are not destroyed and continue to develop, then obiously in just 100 years or so we will have vastly supeior technology - hopefully space elevators and things like this - and we really could lift it up relatively safely and send it off right into the sun.
Again - I greatly fear nuclear technology - but the threat it poses to us diminishes with increasing levels of technology and social development.
