Depends where you live. In the US it is being stored on power station sites. In the UK and France it is being sent to central processing plants for chemical separation and storage. Try www.world-nuclear.org for more information about various countries.

Can nuclear wastes cause explosions?

Nuclear waste can not case an explosion is it's spent form. Once a reactor is done with Uranium rods as fuel they are put into lead lined containers and transported to spent fuel storage. A nuclear reactor can explode from hydrogen build up in the containment vessel, this is due to the reaction going on in the steam generation process, this does not happen in nuclear waste storage facilities.
