Disposal of radiation waste in glacial ice

A method of fission product disposal in permanent icefields, comprising:

• storing nuclear reactor waste for a period of time sufficient to let short life materials decay;
• separating the balance of the fission products from the actinides;
• embedding the separated fission products in a metal matrix having a sufficient thermal conductivity and a sufficiently high melting point to successfully store the fission products and thereafter
• placing the fission product matrix as the core of a capsule container having a container core and outer cover to encase the fission products,
• said outer cover being a corrosion resistant material with sufficient strength, density, and thermal conductivity to avoid environmental corrosion over time, and being of a dimensional configuration such that the radiation outside the container does not exceed safety limits, and such that the outside surface of the container is of a sufficiently high temperature to melt ice found in permanent icefields, yet is not sufficiently high to seriously enhance corrosion of the sphere.
