Exposure to radioactivity will cause nausea, hair loss, vomiting, destruction of the intestinal lining, damage to the central nervous system and even death.
Deep geological disposal is a suitable method for the disposal of radioactive waste.

There are multiple protective barriers which keep this radioactive waste from hundreds of years.
