As far as I am aware there is no final storage for atomic waste anywhere. France wants to build one in 2030 but we'll see then I guess.

    According to Wikipedia the first site goes live somewhen this year running for 70 years and the second one was a major groundwater breach that has been cleaned up and is being monitored.

    I'd hardly call these success stories. I love nuclear but it's hard to sugarcoat the long standing issues.

  • Yeah, but at least everyone else has long term storage solutions even if it's not permanent. The US just has short term storage where you can only keep it for a number of years before having to shuffle it to a different short term storage facility via train or semi truck.
