If all else fails, we could always pitch'em at the Moon.  Be a bit
expensive though.  Or, (shocking thought!), we could, like, reprocess
them and burn up the radioisotopes.  Or even ... I understand there are
ways to build reactors that consume a much higher proportion of their
fuel, and operate more efficiently.  But they cost more up front, so
scratch that, it'd hurt next quarter's numbers.
