You need to use materials that stand up well to neutron bombardment. Many materials upon neutron capture have a half life measured in seconds, which isn't a big deal. As nuclear waste disposal goes, this really isn't a concern.

I know it's better than fission, but still not nice. If is indeed seconds, then it doesn't matter of course. I was kind of hoping to understand more about material design in the recent scientific past with this question.
