The issue is not finding a place that's geologically stable now. But finding one that's geologically stable in 850.000 years.

And to find a place where no post worldwar 5 civilization accidentally diggs is up.

And to have a tracking chain where no fuel gets into the wrong hands.

Do you know how germany decided on the position of its long term nuclest storage facilities?

East germany choose the salt mine closest to the west german border. And in retaliation west germany build theirs right next to it, in the closest saly mine that they had to the east german border.

Nuclear tech is awesome and great, and too dangerous for careless, political, corrupt, humanity to be trusted with.

So I'd rather spend that money on renewables, where the worst thing that can happen is someone hitting you with a PV cell.
