It doesn't really eat the nuclear waste, it "just" feeds on the radioactive energi, so it doesn't speed up the decay. But you can use them as a radiation shield.

As far as I know you cannot speed up the decay, unless you put it in a particle accelerator and bombard it into something with a much faster half life?
Not exactly a scalable solution.
