Long term storage in a rock formation, on land, is the most likely solution for high level radioactive waste. The radioactive material would likely undergo vitrification and then be buried in caverns, created in a large rock formation. When use of the storage area is complete, it would be sealed again with stone. While still extremely expensive, and not considered as safe, in the end, as the some other methods of storage, it is the most viable storage option currently available. Safety could be increased by using methods that reduce the amount of radioactive waste through Home
