- HyperSane 4y agoNot a problem. You reprocess the used fuel, which makes clean usable fuel and a tiny amount of nuclear waste. This is then mixed with glass and then buried deep underground.
- jimbob45 4y agoIt really helps if you post a picture. Most people unironically picture a barrel of bubbling, glowing green goo when you say “nuclear waste” like something out of The Simpsons. It helps when people don’t have to generate a picture based off of your description[0].

- slavik81 4y agoWe Solved Nuclear Waste Decades Ago - https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k The safe long-term storage of nuclear waste is not a technical problem. It's a political problem. The public opposes even just doing research into safer storage methods for nuclear waste. In 2016, the Department of Energy test wells for deep borehole disposal were cancelled due to protests. The tests were not even going to involve nuclear material! The opposition feared that the tests might show that the area was geologically appropriate for the safe storage of nuclear waste.
