Put it in a shuttle and send it to the sun. The sun likes nuclear waste for more fusion power!

I’d say underground security storage, or dump it at France

They bury it very deep in a lead box and surround it with concrete. this is because gamma rays cannot pass through lead or concrete so the waves are stopped.

By not producing the crap in the first place!
Sorry but I have a very bad attitude to things that kill and destroy and this crap kills and destroys all kinds of life.

Google ‘vitrification’.

In short, by isolating it from interacting with the biosphere.
Long-term storage of radioactive waste requires the stabilisation of the waste into a form which will not react, nor degrade, for extended periods of time. One way to do this is through vitrification. Currently at Sellafield the high-level waste (PUREX first cycle raffinate) is mixed with sugar and then calcined. Calcination involves passing the waste through a heated, rotating tube. The purposes of calcination are to evaporate the water from the waste, and de-nitrate the fission products to assist the stability of the glass produced.
The ‘calcine’ generated is fed continuously into an induction heated furnace with fragmented glass. The resulting glass is a new substance in which the waste products are bonded into the glass matrix when it solidifies. This product, as a molten fluid, is poured into stainless steel cylindrical containers (“cylinders”) in a batch process. When cooled, the fluid solidifies (“vitrifies”) into the glass. Such glass, after being formed, is very highly resistant to water.
After filling a cylinder, a seal is welded onto the cylinder. The cylinder is then washed. After being inspected for external contamination, the steel cylinder is stored, usually in an underground repository. In this form, the waste products are expected to be immobilised for a very long period of time (many thousands of years).
