That "only" is just ridiculous :)
Just try to imagine the history of a nuclear waste storage site from the 1500s... how many budget cuts would have it seen? how much buck-passing when it changed hands as a result of war of revolution? how many times would it have been bombed? (and it's not like we've had bombing for a very long time).
We are just not responsible enough to play around with nuclear. Hell, we are showing we are even not responsible enough for hydrocarbons.
(yes, I do know some amount of nuclear waste, from medical applications etc., is definitely worth it and unavoidable - let's just keep it to a minimum)
I mean we already have plenty of spent nuclear fuel from regular powrplants, so that boat has already sailed.
