Onkalo in Finland is not 30km deep, which none have achieved anywhere.

But Onkalo is one of the few actually built long term nuclear waste storage locations anywhere.

It is for domestic nuclear waste only. There is no desire to become the international dumping ground for nuclear waste.

Tbh I believe the waste should be reprosessed as fuel and burnt in reactors instead of burial.

But non-proliferation things make that impossible.

These geological repositories are such political bullshit theater. Its fucking sad.

The are actually more expensive then simply developing the reactors to burn up that fuel.

Its just crazy that we live in this world.

The US collected money from nuclear plants for 50 years for disposal, and had plenty of money to develop waste burning reactors. And yet that money is totally unused. While politicians dead-lock on this idiotic Yucca Mountain project.

Its beyond sad the state we are in.
