How many of the safety assessments take into account the fact that the nuclear waste is almost never buried away and in a dispersed matter and instead it's kept near the nuclear power plant in dry/wet pools because of NIMBY?

This has the effect turning the nuclear power plant into a giant dirty bomb. Almost all the problems at Fukushima were caused exactly by these used fuel pools, and not by the nuclear material in the plant itself.

And then you have Ukraine where dry storage is shelled with artillery.
