Safe storage of nuclear waste is a solved problem

Is it though? It is maybe for a couple of generations but after that? What happens in case of an earthquake? When the storage facility is not taken care of? When nuclear lobbies force the adoption of the solution?

And is the actual implementation of the solution aligned with the defined needs? The solution proposed in France is a shitshow for instance. Is the risk really taken seriously in the long term? Or is it another case of 'future generations will take care of it?' (See climate change)
