Answer:

The most currently-used method for nuclear waste disposal is storage, either using steel cylinders as radioactive shield or using deep and stable geologic formations. However, the disposal of nuclear waste by storage still has many concern, since the leakage of the nuclear waste may cause huge environmental disaster.

Hope helps

Nuclear waste is much different from what you might think. When most people talk about nuclear waste, they're referring to fuel that's been used in a reactor once. Nuclear fuel is used to produce electricity for about five years. Then, it's removed and safely stored until a permanent disposal site becomes available.

There are three types of nuclear waste, classified according to their radioactivity: low-, intermediate-, and high-level. The vast majority of the waste (90% of total volume) is composed of only lightly-contaminated items, such as tools and work clothing, and contains only 1% of the total radioactivity.
