Nobody has. Nuclear casks need maintenance for their life time. We haven't invented any kind of nuclear proof forever material that's immune to entropy. And every single one of these solutions people propose have flaws that render the solution not viable so for now we end up storing it all above ground

Everything in life slowly degrades over time and the longer the life span of something the more it degrades. Especially when that contained is filled with something radioactive.

There are lots of people who are justifiably not comfortable expecting a private company to continue a maintenance cycle that brings in zero profit and all costs for a few thousand years without cutting corners. I don't like the idea of the Elon musks being the Smaug of nuclear waste

I know there's the joke that Finland doesn't exist, but didn't know people like you who took it seriously.

From 2019. Yes, we've figured out how to store it permanently. The country of 5 million somehow figured out what the hundreds of millions in Germany, USA, and others couldn't.

Or more accurately, actually did it. The solution has been known for awhile.

Also, never said a private company had to do anything - that's just a strawman you brought up.

That's basically what Finland is doing, with a few extra steps.

The whole waste thing isn't an unsolved issue, it's purely a political one.
