For what its worth, this isnt too far off from reality in the US. Nevada is a US state, but they wont take "foreign" nuclear waste from other states (and they dont generate their own, in part because water is scarce in the state). Intermediary states dont want to have waste transported through their borders either.
edit: in case it wasnt clear, the US has a partially constructed waste depo in Nevada that was abandoned a decade ago for largely political reasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_Mountain_nuclear_waste_repository https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_Mountain_nuclear_waste_r...
