Abstract

Nuclear waste, such as, but not limited to, spent nuclear fuel (SNF) assemblies or portions thereof, are chipped and compacted into (waste) pucks that are placed within diecast molds, and then diecast injection molding occurs within the diecast molds and around the pucks that are emplaced within those diecast molds, with injected molten alloy(s), to form solid metal ingots upon sufficient cooling after the diecasting injection that contain within the ingots the emplaced pucks. The molten alloy(s) may contain a copper alloy. The molten alloy(s) may also contain neutron absorbers. The ingots may be placed into waste capsules. The ingots and/or the waste capsules may be landed in deeply located horizontal wellbores. The deeply located horizontal wellbores may be at least partially located within deeply located geologic formations.
