Why not store the waste in Pripyat? Chernobyl already has dedicated personnel and monitoring equipment for radiation control. The area is off limits to settlement and it's not like there are NIMBY concerns. Nuclear plants already store their waste on-site, which means the footprint of the waste is small. The exclusion zone is large.
