Why is it difficult to permanently dispose nuclear wastes?

What will be an ideal response?


One problem with nuclear wastes is that they remain deadly for tens of thousands of years. A successful repository for the wastes must seal them completely for all this time, and no one has yet figured out how to do that. Also, transporting nuclear wastes from all over a country presents an image of an accident waiting to happen.
