Russia plans to put a nuclear power plant on the moon in the next decade to supply its lunar space programme and a joint Russian-Chinese research station, as major powers rush to explore the earth's only natural satellite.
Honestly putting nuclear waste on the moon is probably the best option for it. I wonder how they would hope to cool it though? Maybe just run it when the sun isn’t hitting it?

The problem with launching nuclear materials into space is sometimes space ships blow up and that would scatter nuclear material everywhere.
That’s why we don’t do that already.
Holy shit yeah that would be awful. Idk how I didn’t consider that
A lot of people don’t think of that. I didn’t think of it until I listened to a podcast about nuclear waste.
I’m betting it would be underground

No humans or other animals around to eat it as long as the moon doesn’t come crashing down.
Or nothing hits the moon and sends said waste into space/our general direction.
