Best answer

Answer: 4. Bury the waste within rocks deep below the Earth's surface

Key idea: Nuclear waste must be stored in a safe, geologically stable site.

It is buried in rocks deep below the earth's surface, as recommended. Shooting waste into space is dangerous and costly; dumping in oceans or under ice risks leakage and contamination of ecosystems.
