They should just find a cheap, but safe (if possible) method of sticking it all in containers and throwing it into space, like, at the sun
At least it'd get disposed of
Well, Connaughton has a point. What is the point of reducing something when you may not need to, only to find it is detrimental in other ways?

As for sending the waste into space, it's probably not the best idea. What if it hits a meteorite or something? Or ends up coming back into our gravitational field? In fact, lets just assume there is another civilzation on a planet comewhere, and one day a load of nuclear waste comes crashing down on their planet... how would we feel if the reverse happened and someone else's waste landed on earth?
