Is there any environmentally friendly way to keep the waste of nuclear power?

It seems like nuclear power plant is the only option we can secure the consumption of energy especially in the developed countries. There is a consensus that energy's waste is the problem as well the pollution it produces. However, without this source of energy it seems to find other options to get the energy though we have non-renewable energy options but very limited.
Thus, the concern is the waste of nuclear.

      Feb 27 2013: Of course, we must. We are living under a single roof which is the Earth.
      The negative effect of the nuclear waste is terribly enormous to the lives on the earth.

      Feb 27 2013: The Japanese already have designs for mobile floating reactors that can be towed by a tug to where they are needed. They can also be moved overland to more permanent installations. You can substitute one of these for the coal furnace in an existing power plant. The big advantage being it is sealed so there is no radiation. Only the steam circuit needs to be attached.
