It would be interesting to see some examples of EU countries that have solved the long-term storage problem? All I know of are countries that have been researching underground tunnels since the 70s and they're still not in production use.



Finland's long term storage is expected to be operational in a couple of years:

Sweden is nearly done with the environmental review of final storage of spent nuclear fuel. There is still scientific discussion regarding if the containers will last and remain intact for the 10 000 year goal. They hope to have a facility ready by 2030.
