How would you dispose of harmful nuclear waste?

One method is deep geological disposal, where the waste is stored underground in stable rock formations.

How much does it cost to send nuclear waste to sun?

Sending nuclear waste to the sun is currently not technologically feasible or economically viable. The cost would be extremely high and the environmental and safety risks involved in launching such a mission would be significant. It is more practical to focus on improving nuclear waste management and disposal techniques on Earth.
