Uranium waste gives off heat as well as radiation. Aside from sterilizing and killing marine life, the waste would act as a very efficient space heater, raising the temperature of the ocean for thousands of years. The effects on deep sea life could be very damaging if the temperature of their habitat suddenly rose several degrees.
Its ok that it's "buried" beneath miles of ocean, right up until it gets into the drinking water of a major city. Radiation moves at the speed of light, just because we let it sink to the bottom of the ocean, there are NO guarantees that it will stay there.
This is a very, very, dangerous idea. For Humans as well as the ecosystem.

In answer of how to solve the idea of global worming. President Bush is
suggesting the use of more Atomic Power plants. The only waste is radio
active. The next question is where do we put the waste. I propose we dump it in the mid Atlantic or Pacific rift. It will be buried
beneath miles of ocean.
If you are worried about hurting the environment just do this. Design the
tank or container
to desolve or explode at 4 miles down. The radiation will desolve or spread
so it will be no problem . Please note by the time it reaches the surface
it will be deluted enough to be no problem. The advantage of this method is
it will not be around 10,000 years but will spread itself into the ocean
until the concentration will be minimal.
