It can be managed by some steps.The steps are mentioned below,
*Using deep geological repositories helps to isolate the waste.
*Reprocessing the already used nuclear products to extra usable products,it will reduce the genration of more waste.
*Safely handling and monitoring the waste will helps to manage the waste in the environment
