Note that it specifically talks about the US, e.g. Finland develops its deep geological repository [0] just fine, while other countries (Russia and France) focus on fuel recycling. Also this is why it's important to invest into development of breeder reactors. Not only they improve uranium utilization and may allow for thorium to be used as a nuclear fuel, but also they can "burn" the nastiest parts of nuclear waste [1]. Unfortunately, AFAIK only Russia currently seriously invests into this branch of nuclear reactors (see BN [2] and BREST [3]).
