What is the purpose for nuclear waste?

Nuclear waste is an unfortunate by-product of the process of nuclear fission for the purpose of energy production. The spent fuel rods are "safely" stored and sequestered, but will remain dangerous for thousands of years. As far as I know, there is no "purpose" for nuclear waste, other than to convince people that they do not want a power plant in their backyard. The theoretically possible process of nuclear fusion (which is how the sun works) would produce less radioactive material and waste.

What is the plan for long term storage of nuclear waste?

Currently, nuclear waste is stored in large, radiation resistant containers underground in remote locations around the world. There have been discussions about how governments will be dealing with nuclear waste in the future, but no definitive answer has been concluded. There were once talks of launching it into our sun, but some scientists believed this to be a catastrophicly bad idea. So to sum it all up, if you think of a good plan be sure to let your government officials know :)
