If I show you definite proof of extraterrestrial visits on Earth, it will not matter that 99.9999% of UFO sightings were fake.
I call that a big fail, and exact problem I am talking about.
No, you never specified the hypothetical blocking problems you are talking about. Existence of even one site in operation proves that no blocking problems exist.
We don’t even need to go into question whether these will be safe for thousands of years, which is doubtful.
My good man, these are designed for millions of years. Based on the observation of billions years old natural occurring isotopes. From the WP article:
Despite a long-standing agreement among many experts that geological disposal can be safe, technologically feasible and environmentally sound, a large part of the general public in many countries remains skeptical as result of anti-nuclear campaigns.
Well I am sceptical. Maybe I can believe that US and other rich nations can make it work, I have huge doubts in most of the couries being careful enough.
It needs to be “run” as long as wastes keep coming in, then they are design to last for geological times with no human intervention.
Nuclear power killed less people than dams. If you trust a country with dams, nuclear power is a step up in terms of safety. And if US and China switched to nuclear, we already would be a long way on our path to solving the climate crisis.
What technologies are missing in your opinion to do geological storage?
Many sites are currently operational across the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_geological_repository#Nuclear_repository_sites
If you take a look at “Status” column, only four of them are in use. After 60 years of nuclear energy and 440 nuclear power plants in 32 countries.

Running a nuclear power plant is harder and more dangerous than running a storage facility
Storage facility ahould not be “run”, it is not possible to guarantee someone will keep an eye on it for thousands of years.
But you are right, running power plant is harder and I don’t trust most of the governments around the world to do it safety.
If rich/stable countries focus only on nuclear as clean energy - risky countries will do the same or go to coal.
We are not searching for solution only for US and Europe since it is not enough.
