Burying it could be safe, provided it is deep in a stable geologic area and somewhere that will not get flooded.

Incineration would just scatter the radioactivity to the winds, you can't destroy radioactivity by chemical methods.

Why is nuclear waste considered so dangereous?

The most harmful of which are gamma rays. When the human body is exposed to radiation, it can cause tumors and can do extreme damage to the reproductive organs. For this reason, problems associated with radioactivity can be passed on to the victim's children as well. That is why radioactive waste produced by nuclear power plants is so dangerous.

How do you dispose of medium level nuclear waste?

The problem is two fold here. The waste from nuclear sites is plentiful only because of foolish guidelines. For example water leaving a power plant can not have as much background radiation as it does when entering in some cases. High level waste we all agree is an issue. Low level waste is not an ssue, but there is this grey area of medium level waste. The simplest method would be to put this waste into barrels and bury it in New Mexico or other solid areas. One interesting method that I was presented with by a passenger on a recent flight was this. We do not actually make radioactive material, we concentrate it. If we take three toms of dirt out of a half ounce of radioactive material, why not mix the material back into the stuff and fill the mine back up with it? No new amounts of radioactive material would be added to the area and the concentrations would be the same! How does one argue this?


Can you bury waste in the garden in winter?

Only compostable organic things. ---------------------------------------- As long as you can dig in the ground, there would be no reason not to bury some organic waste, dead animals, compost, and etc. Don't bury plastics, glass, chemicals, or other household items. Keep in mind though, if you are tilling, it may not fully decay before tilling.
