Bury it in geologically stable areas.
At some point: it will cool down on its own, or technology will be developed to re-use it in an economically-amiable fashion and we can bring it back up. We know how to re-process it [1] but no body really wants to pay for that.
As it stands: before we start worrying about what happens to nuclear "waste" 500+ years in the future, we have to get through the next 100 years and all the issues that climate change is causing right now.
