I think the best solution for the waste is to leave it where it is.
There are good arguments that such is the safest solution. But more
importantly, it means that nuke users must live with their own trash.
If it's good enough for all the places they'd like to send it (which
is anybody else's backyard), then it's good enough to stay where it
was produced. If the only way they can convince the public to allow
the plants is to force Nevada (which doesn't have nukes and *really*
doesn't want the waste) to take the waste, then they shouldn't build
new plants.

This *sounds* good but in reality every plant has a built-in
waste disposal site - the decommissioned plant itself. So
the waste issue won't stop utilities from building more plants.

Basically they just sell the decomissioned plant to the
government for a dollar, and walk away - at the instant the
plant no longer makes them money.
