Diluting it with stone or whatever and putting it in a deep sea trench so it gets back in the geological cycle as soon as possible, is not an option?

"Geological cycle" I always thought was measured in millions of years, when the waste has a half-life of 1000 years to 10 million years...

So much could happen in 1000 years...and it would barely make a difference for anything below 1My.
