The US to date has primarily approached the problem of civilian nuclear waste by planning for and building a single facility, then cancelling the entire thing before any waste was ever moved there. There are a couple pilot plants, those are exactly what they sound like.

The US will never solve the problem of nuclear waste.

Encase it in a big block of concrete. Dump it in the ocean. There, solved it. I know it sounds horrid because of the public perception issue, but it's really not a bad solution. Yes, I mean it. Be aghast!

Dropping nuclear waste in the Marianas trench is not a bad idea.

Maybe 20 years ago. Something tells me if the nuke guys could get their shit together and grab the ear of the current admin, they could get their hole in the desert that they have always wanted. But instead they are more likely to play Nobody's Favorite as Big Oil continues to Big Oil and solar/wind continue to reap decades of subsidies.
