Just to give a little context: in Germany, which the OP was about, just the search for a suitable place to store nuclear waste started in 1999 with the formation of a working group of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety [1]. It is expected that the result of the search process will not be available until the year 2046 [2]. Maybe it's not quite as easy as the layman thinks, especially considering that Germany has a lot less space then, say, the US. -- [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20150217045132/http://www.bfs.de...
