would it be safe to dispose of nuclear waste in the earth's molten core?
i had an idea to use the planet's molten core to dissipate the small amount of nuclear waste we humans create, possibly by using the earth's tectonic plates.
the idea was to place the encapsulated waste at the point where one tectonic plate slides under another taking the waste into the molten core over time where it would no longer be a danger.
it sounds simple and effective but i am unsure if it is plausible.
