Most nuclear weapons today are fusion weapons started by a much smaller fission reaction. ALL nuclear reactors are fission - making a self-sustaining fusion reaction is quite a ways away and doesn't seem closer than it did 20 years ago. Handling spent fuel is, in my opinion, a red herring, designed by the anti-nuclear community to make it impossible - if you erect sufficiently high barriers to the storage problem you make it impossible to site power reactors - regardless of whether those barriers make sense or not.
