Patent Number: 
Section: claims

1. An apparatus for storing radioactive waste comprising: a self-sealing bladder;  a protective layer disposed on the bladder;  a radiation barrier disposed on the protective layer; and  an impact resistant layer disposed on the radiation barrier;  wherein the self-sealing bladder is penetrated by an injector device and filled with the radioactive waste prior to the disposition of the protective layer, the radiation barrier and the impact resistant layer. 2. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the self-sealing bladder is made of a self-sealing polymeric material. claim 1 3. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the self-sealing bladder is made of a self-sealing rubber material. claim 1 4. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the radiation barrier is made of a lead-containing material. claim 1 5. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the impact resistant layer is made of a high impact polymeric material. claim 1 6. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the impact resistant layer is made of a rubber material. claim 1 7. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the radioactive waste is in a slurry form. claim 1 8. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the radioactive waste is in liquid form. claim 1 9. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the radioactive waste is in a paste-like form. claim 1 10. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus has a cylindrical shape. claim 1 11. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus has a spherical shape. claim 1 12. A method for storing radioactive waste in a container comprising the steps of: penetrating a self-sealing bladder and filling the self-sealing bladder with a radioactive material; coating the self-sealing bladder with a protective coating; coating the protective coating with a radioactive barrier coating; and coating the radioactive barrier coating with an impact resistant coating.
