Hazards of High-Level Radioactive Waste—The Great Myth

1983
The fourth major reason for public misunderstanding of nuclear power is a grossly unjustified fear of the hazards from radioactive waste. Even people whom I know to be intelligent and knowledgeable about energy issues have told me that their principal reservation about use of nuclear power is the disposal of radioactive waste. Often called an “unsolved

High‐level radioactive waste management in the USA

Journal of Risk Research, 2009
High‐level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal policy in the USA since 1987 has focused on a site in volcanic tuffs 305 meters beneath Yucca Mountain, Nevada, with current plans calling for the repository to be opened in 2017 subject to approval by the Obama Administration.

Seabed disposal of high-level radioactive waste

1987
As with on-land disposal seabed disposal of high-level radioactive waste is a multi-barrier concept. The concept envisages that waste would be vitrified and then packed into containers and overpacks before being placed on the seabed, or buried at varying depths within its soft sediment covering and the underlying lithified sediments and oceanic basalts.
