In the short term nuclear waste should be stored in remote sites on the earth, in the future it should all be moved to space by elevator rather than launch.

Nuclear waste is a non-issue.

All of the used fuel ever produced by the commercial nuclear industry since the late 1950s would cover a football field to a depth of less than 10 yards.
