Also because in case of the Diesel gate, the constructors literally did the law since it was design by consortium and constructors lobbies were involve. I hope the EU got vaccinated against this kind of practices. If not, they should also

France already does it in a place named Bure in the Meuse department. But they do store mainly long term radioactive waste there not fuel. Up to my knowledge, spent Fuel and plutonium are first sent for recycling in France and not burry as
