Nuclear explosion from nuclear waste?

Is it possible for nuclear waste to somehow naturally cause a nuclear explosion? (with no human input, other than dumping the nuclear waste)

The yield of the explosion would preferably be enough to cause at least some damage. For a little context, the nuclear waste would be underwater.
