Nuclear waste can be recycled or it can be stored in an isolated space until it completely decays.

Step-by-step explanation

The waste generated during nuclear reactions in the reactors or other nuclear energies need to be handled with care.

The nuclear waste also has the ability to release harmful radiations.

So now technology has arrived to recycle the nuclear waste or we can isolate the nuclear waste in a particular location surrounded by shields until the nuclear waste completely decays.

The reactor fuel waste from one nuclear reactor can be used as the fuel for another reactor.
