These things are not nearly as dangerous to the environment. For one thing, they are solid speres and there is no liquid waste. Thus, they could be buried, worst case would be in cement or steel slabs. I am sure there are some logistics involved, but it is not anywhere near as much of a problem as current reactor waste, as there is heavy water generated in these reactors which must be stored.
