In fact, there are many plans for storage of nuclear waste
in safe facilities. But those plans are never implemented
because of deliberate obstructionism by anti-nuclear agents,
so that objections exactly like yours can continue to be
raised. For an anti-nuclear activist, there is no storage
facility that can ever be safe enough, there is no means of
transporting the waste to the facility that can ever be safe
enough, and there is no form of nuclear power that can ever
be safe enough.
