That is not so, though it would help a great deal. It would enable the
reuse of much of the plutonium, which is a doubleplus ungood element.
But it would not resolve the problem of dealing with the contaminated
material, some of which contains an ungodly cocktail of nucleotides.
Far too many of the claims of how things could be done assume no problems
and no errors.

They could load it on space ships, and send it out into space, perhaps on
the moon where it wouldn't worry us at all, or to the sun.

Icouldn't feel happy with that solution while significant numbers of rockets
burn on the launch pad. Not just well publicised challenger and apollos
with loss of life but a fair number of arriannes which only have expensive
electrics on board :-(
