These are probably people who are against nuclear power plants altogether, but we do have waste from the present existing plants and something will have to be done eventually to put it into safer places than just leaving it on the power plant sites. The underground repository does need careful consideration and it must be chosen to be in a geologically safe area, away from populations, and where flooding won't occur.
