I don't have an answer for where to bury it (though recycling it really ought to be an option. Politics prevents that right now) but the movement of the waste is actually a problem that has been largely solved. Nuclear flasks are designed to withstand incredible accidents. For instance, the UK flasks were tested by placing one one a derailed flatbed car & ramming a locomotive into it at >90mph. The flask was situated so that the hinge (weakest point) would be hit. The flask was minimally damaged while the locomotive was destroyed. [1] The US flasks are required to withstand similar catastrophic accidents.
