Funny, I was going to post something about launching it into space, then changed my mind as I already thought I was ranting enough.
The issue with launching it into space (and presumably towards the sun) is our track record with launching spacecraft. Take the Space Shuttle; 1 out of every 150 has blown up in the atmosphere on lift off. And since that accident another shuttle was destroyed by something that started with liftoff; so you could say 1 in 75 has had a fatal lift off accident.
Plus there are arguements that we don't know for sure what effect nuclear waste would have on the sun. Assuming Al Gore et al are correct about Global Warming; if we've done this much damage to the planet, can you imagine what would happen if we screwed up the sun?
