What does it mean to dispose of nuclear waste by 'subduction' -- sticking it into seismic faults?

I don't think that it would. It would take millions of years for the materials taken down into the subduction zone to come back out of the volcano. by that time the radioactive waste would most likely have been degraded to the point of contributing little to the general background radiation that is normally found in volcanic rocks. Please don't take this as an endorsement of the idea. I can think of some other potential problems with this idea. So, I would want to see some of these other concerns addressed.
