The world's nuclear reactors, tens of thousands of tons of high-level nuclear waste is created, and only current solution is to store things.

Some studies using high powered lasers to blast into space capsule is seen likely, but economic, reliability and safety issues - plus the possibility of legal challenges - so far rejected this option.
