How about the mess that long term storage in Germany is in ?

The salt mine Assen that they put some nuclear waste in is now flooded. Getting the nuclear waste back out will cost several billions. I don't think they will even do it. So they risk contaminating ground water. That alone can be a cost of several billion.

And even if they do clean it up they are back to square zero in their quest for long term storage.
