the methods of disposing radioactive waste depend on:
- the waste physical form (solid, liquid. gaseous) and
- the radioactivity level (low, intermediate, high).
Primarily; three methods are applied:
- delay and decay: to maintain waste in tanks for some periods of time to allow decay of radioactivity and then to be disposed of to environment.
- dilute and disperse: to dispose to environment (through dilution and dispersion) as ocean, sea, atmosphere, etc.
- contain and concentrate: This is used mainly for high level radioactive waste as spent fuel or the spent fuel reprocessing products; either in wet storage, dry storage, or incineration&containment in barrels, or vitrified waste.

Why is dealing with nuclear waste a problem?
I wonder that some think that there is difficulty in disposal of radioactive waste. Toxic waste is even more difficult. Radioactivity levels reduce by time but toxicity not. There is no difficulty in disposal of radioactive wastes except the unjustified concerns of the public that oppose radioactive waste disposal in their vicinity. Currently; there are well established methods; subject to strict local and international regulations; and approaches to deal with radioactive waste based on the waste form (solid, liquid. gaseous) and the radioactivity level (low, intermediate, high).

What is one of the main concerns with nuclear power?
The amount of radioactive waste it produces. And the problem of disposing of that waste.
What has been done so far about disposing of radioactive waste?
higher taxs are being given on these companies to find solutions
Why are current methods of waste disposable inadequate?
It is not true. Currently; there are well established methods and approaches to deal with radioactive waste based on the waste form (solid, liquid. gaseous) and the radioactivity level (low, intermediate, high). There are well practiced regulations and laws to deal with radioactive waste to protect the public and workers from being exposed to any unjustified hazards or radiations from radioactive waste.
