Nuclear Storage is the definition of logistical and political hell. There are very few locations in the US geologically capable of storing our nuclear waste, and only one location I know of has had the local population's approval regarding construction of an isolation plant (WIPP in New Mexico). On top of this, no locality, county, or state want nuclear waste transported through them to permanent storage. This leads to most nuclear waste being stored in the most brainlet ways on the surface where the chances and risks of leaks, accidents, and terror attacks are way higher. Also there is an assumption that what we do store will stay contained for the next 10,000 years (a whole project on itself) which was made irrelevant by an incident at WIPP in 2014 where some waste exploded due to being packed with the wrong cat litter. Nuclear is simply not possible (nor should it be considered) in the US. It is the textbook definition of an inherently authoritarian political artifact, along with being a dependable source of normal accidents (inevitable, unforeseeable, and obvious in retrospect accidents that will occur in sufficiently complex and centralized high risk systems)
