List some method to dispose nuclear waste?

Nuclear waste or radio waste as the name suggests is the residue of the nuclear substances that were utilized. It is very harmful to both mankind and the environment. Hence dealing with this is a tedious and important process. Let's see some of the processes utilized to dispose of nuclear waste.

1. Storage: As the radioactive material goes on decays from time to time. So, the radioactive material is stored until it is no longer radioactive. This process is known as radioactive decay which depends on the number of materials and the radioactive level.
2. Recycling: Some radioactive materials can be recycled or reused. Example of these elements is Uranium and Plutonium. Both of these elements have a longer life span and therefore can be used for recycling.
3. Transmutation: Transmutation is another method for nuclear waste disposal in which harmful radioactive chemical elements are converted to less harmful elements. It can be done with the help of outside forces like proton hitting.
4. Geological Disposal: In this method, waste is disposed into the ground where it is out of human reach. Though it is not eco-friendly and has some harmful effects.
