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?
