Space is several million (billion?) light years across, we could send it into space and be done with it.
My guess is that if we do have other cosmic inhabitants in the neighborhood, I don’t think they would appreciate us dumping our garbage into space. I think Yucca Mountain is a good alternative. I know there is a lot of controversy having to do with seismic activity but I'm sure it will be ok. It has to go somewhere. I would rather have it there in a semi safe place then at out our nuclear facilities.

. our possible alien friends/enimyes realy would be pissed at us then. we can go from
planet poluters to cosmic poluters, hmm i wonder what the fine for that would be?
