I know this is probably a feat of engineering.. But in sci.fusion
I recently saw what I think is an excellent solution.. Bury the
waste in subduction zones. By the time it comes back up it there
will be nothing left of the radioactive properties and most likely
the stuff wont even be composed of the same elements!
