Is it true that Launching nuclear waste into the Sun by rocket is a technically feasible method of disposal?
Partly. A forum discussion argues that launching nuclear waste into space would be prohibitively expensive and risky, while a space-exploration Q&A shows trajectories to reach the Sun are calculable. A peer-reviewed workshop classifies space disposal as an 'exotic' pathway, suggesting it is not a plausible mainstream option. None of the sources fully settles whether rocket disposal into the Sun is technically feasible.
