Failure: a short history of U.S. high-level nuclear waste mismanagement

"For 80 years, the U.S. gov. + its industrial + utility partners have failed to, first, understand the problem of the noxious + dangerous waste produced by the pursuit of nuclear power for war + peace and, second, to successfully respond."

That's an exciting new way for the news to be depressing, I saw this and presumed it was here in #Australia then I found out it's actually in the #USA

The error seems like a bad sign? But I'm not sure what's exactly its a sign of?

Part of why I jumped to the wrong conclusion is that I strongly suspect one of the goals of #AUKUS is that #Australia ends up the dumping ground for our "ally's" spent reactors, we get second hand submarines but I have not heard anything about USA plans to accept returns of the waste?

The World's First #NuclearWaste Tomb Is Nearly Ready to Open
With space for 6,500 tons of #uranium, #Onkalo is aimed at providing permanent storage for spent fuel from #Finland's five #nuclear reactors – three of them located in Olkiluoto.
Spent fuel is planned to be deposited in Onkalo's massive network of tunnels for 100yrs, but operations may be extended if new nuclear reactors are built.
Subsequently, it will be sealed to provide safe storage for at least 100,000yrs.
