Actually, there may be a several ways to "get rid" of the waste.
One of the most interesting I have seen is a patent that uses a
technique involving a form of NMR to speed up the decay of
isotopes that have a magnetic moment.
I guess I should say no one has perfected or commercialized a good way to get rid of the waste. Actually, I think it would be perfectly OK to cram it into Yukka Mountain, but I can see why the citizens of Nevada disagree! I would say put it there but leave the tunnels unsealed. The stuff will probably be worth a fortune a hundred years from now, so let us leave at close at hand.
