A final repository needs to be somewhere deep underground and in a very geologically stable area, where earthquakes are unlikely and flooding unknown. Preferably in an area without much population. The idea is that even if it is forgotten in the future, and the present level of technological knowledge is forgotten by mankind, whoever lives in that neighbourhood will not be harmed by radiation.

What is the thing produced from using nuclear energy making it a limiting factor?

If you are referring to the waste; it's the fact that the waste remains radioactive for a few thousand years. So they need to dispose of it in a way that is safe. This is very difficult to do. There is hope, however, that the fourth generation plants will use the actual waste from the earlier plants. But it, too, is an engineering challenge.
