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.
