You keep saying this but it's a lie.

That seems a bit harsh.

This is unquantified (though huge) because they don't know how to
do it.

Yes they do and its being done.

No long term repository identified in the UK yet. Parking tonnes of
waste in swimming pools doesn't seem like a good long term solution.
"its being done" seems a trifle optimistic!


Vitrified high level waste is stored in air, not under water.

Temporarily stored.

And the slag heaps, and coal spoil tips, these are temporary stores (or
rather dumps), too.
