  Or your know, the amount of waste produced by nuclear reactors produced global that the majority of it can be stored on site for half a century without issue.

  It is easy to build, but as noted, it is also expensive to build. Then you also need the right kind of bedrock and geology. Sweden has everything needed to build such a facility, I could even see a large benefit of a permanent storage facility here. We could get “boosted geothermal”, nuclear waste still produce heat for a long time, why not put in pipes in place in the storage facility and use the extra heat energy to heat houses or other useful things, we are already doing geothermal heating here, so much so that there has been noted issues with depleating the geothermal boreholes, with a boosted system you would get a much longer life time of using it.
