Yes, If we dispose of them correctly today, perhaps in 400 / 500 years future generations can teleport them to the sun or perhaps even make use of them.

Geez, if people had the technology to teleport stuff to the sun, they would have other means of disposing of nuclear waste.
But reading this topic made me realize that there is not enough talk about science. I mean, what is the state of nuclear technology today?
But that is not so easy to answer. Unlike religion, you can not just say whatever you want, although people are trying. Like, I saw recently Bill Nye said that the solution to carbon pollution will be electric airplanes and carbon capture. And that is very naive. But who has the answer? Frighteningly, no one seems to have.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
