And?

There is no repository in the world available, that is either guaranteed to be secure for thousands of years of accepted by the population.

Also putting it in the earth has one huge disadvantage: You cannot get it back if something goes wrong.

I can recommend this documentation about the waste disposal problem http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2979302/

But we would have no need for "thousands of years" if the development of nuclear reactors is allowed to advance. Fast breeder reactors can use our current "waste" as fuel, leaving only stable and short-halflife isotopes as waste.

Let’s look at the German Asse II and Schacht Konrad.

We deposited lots of nuclear waste, and years later discovered it was leaking into the tap water.

Now we have to dig it all back up.
