Deep geological disposal in underground mines or stable rock formations 200 to 1,000 meters deep is the globally accepted standard for isolating high-level nuclear waste.
I did say that I was oversimplifying it radically. We don’t literally just put it back in the ground it needs to be in a smart place.
Makes sense, my country has been struggling with this problem for a while because it’s tectonically simply not stable enough. And good luck convincing geologically suited countries to take everyone’s waste.

Can you explain what you mean by this? I study Chemistry and am from a Uranium producing country and this frankly just seems wrong.
