This is a trick question
Nuclear waste should not be stored at all.
But as we have some and need to store it, where is an important consideration.
Transport is risky.
Where you store it has to be able to handle it if it leaks for a million years or so, at least until its safe to handle.
The US government has a facility that sounds good, A old salt mine that could hold the danger for a very long time. But is it really in a geologically stable place?
Can it leak waste?
Will there be an accident moving the waste?
Should special storage be built where the waste is?
What else can I help you with?
Is nuclear waste stored at a nuclear power plant?

Where are nuclear waste from nuclear power plants currently stored?

Waste stored in a plant and why?
It should be stored in safe storage in sparsely inhabited, seismically quiet areas. But, here kicks in NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard). See about Yucca mountain nuclear waste storage.
Where do people put all the nuclear waste?

Is waste of nuclear power stored in the power plant?
jre
Where does the US send nuclear waste?
For now nuclear waste is stored on site where the waste was generated. In a few years US will begin to store nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain, Nevada but no official date has been set.
Which plants create waste that must be stored indefinitely?
Nuclear plants
Is nuclear waste is harmless after being stored for 10 years or more?
No
Where does nuclear waste go when it is no longer of use?
It just has to be stored for centuries
How is holding nuclear waste good for the coomunity?
The government and companies will pay states and cities money for using their land for storage of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste can be dangerous, but when stored safely it is no danger. Nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants, which produce large amounts of cheap electricity.
