I am continually amused that disposing nuclear waste is still such a hot (!) topic.

There is simple and effective way of disposing the most dangerous types of nuclear waste (spent nuclear fuel) -- dig a deep hole in an ancient, stable, solid rock and bury it there forever. The place needs to be selected carefully but we know of a number of places that are perfect from geological point of view.

The only problem is that nobody wants that in their vicinity because of an irrational fear.
