  Nuclear waste is, from my perspective, one of the most discussed aspects of turning off nuclear power in germany. It's a complicated matter, that sparked a lot of controversy between german states. For example Bavaria doesn't want it in their back yard, despite being geologically suited. This is an active research field with many aspects. Unfortunately this wikipedia-link-thing won't do.

    It's also as far as I can tell a mostly solved question from a purely technical point of view. Honestly the main reason it ever became that big topic in Germany this because of some catastrophically bad decisions about nuclear storage done in both east and west Germany. Worse at least in West Germany it was _known_ (by the people involved in making it) to be a idiotic decision and seem to have been done mainly to spite eastern Germany...

    it's not a complicated matter, you dig a deep hole and throw it in. don't portray a political problem as a technical one

      Recycle it, refine the plutonium out of the waste and use it again as fuel.
