I never find any difficulty in disposal of radioactive waste except the unjustified opposition of the public in some ares to dispose of radioactive waste in their vicinity. Toxic waste is even more difficult. Radioactivity levels reduce by time but toxicity not. 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). Primarily; three methods are applied:
The biggest problem with radioactive waste is how to safely and properly dispose of it. Finding suitable disposal facilities for radioactive waste is difficult. Depending on the type of waste disposed, the disposal facility may need to contain radiation for a very long time.

It's highly radioactive.
