Handling nuclear waste is a problem blown vastly out of proportion.Taking care of the waste is simple: * Glassify the waste into nearly waterproof glass blocks. This is an old technique, well understood, which you can read about all over the web (here's one link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste). * Stack these blocks up in a nice pile out in the middle of a desert. There are tons of US military bases in the Southwest that have lots of spare land that would be perfect for this. * Put two fences around this pile, one at 1/4 mile and one at 1 mile. * Put cameras and the odd patrolling guard on the first fence, along with signs every 10 feet that say, "Nuclear waste storage facility--do not enter." * Put cameras and regular guards every 15 feet along the inside fence, along with signs every 10 feet that say, "Cross this line and die".Problem solved.
