In addition, I know of 2 places in the US where spent nuclear waste is buried, 1 is near the Columbia River in WA, the the other is at the INL in Idaho - which is near Yellowstone and on top of the fresh water aquifer that feeds the Snake River...
I understand most spent fuel remains on site at the nuke plant because there is no place to actually take it.
I have a decommissioned plant 30 miles from me near the coast. All has been buried in an underground vault on site.
