Germany also has giant piles of nuclear waste and doesn't even know yet where to store it permanently. Recently an assessment concluded that the process to select such a storage facility might take at least until 2074! [1]

There is exactly one country on earth that has found a permanent storage for its nuclear waste. For all we know Germany might still be amoung the first countries to find one.

At this point we better find a way to slingshot it into space (SpinLaunch?)

People wouldnt like it because it sounds stupid, but sending radioactive waste deep at the bottom of oceans would work pretty well
