Many short-lived waste components will decay to unimportant radioactivity levels in relatively short periods of time. Their storage in artificial structures can be considered. For the longer-lived and highly toxic actinide fraction of radioactive waste, there appears to be only three basic management options: elimination of waste constituents by transmutation ...; transport off the Earth; and isolation from the human environment somewhere on Earth for periods of time sufficient to permit natural radioactive decay. 1, record 1, English, - transport%20off%20Earth

Méthodes d'élimination définitive. [...] il serait intéressant d'avoir des méthodes permettant d'éliminer les déchets à très longue période, de façon complète, c'est-à-dire de les supprimer, et l'on envisage deux méthodes qui semblent [...] physiquement sinon économiquement possibles : soit la transmutation, soit l'évacuation spatiale. [...] L'évacuation spatiale, solution actuellement étudiée par les États-Unis, est l'envoi sur des orbites solaires, très différente de l'orbite terrestre, ce qui est en principe possible avec des fusées du type actuel. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9vacuation%20spatiale
