Reply to comment by 3_14159td in Poland picks U.S. offer for its first nuclear power plant -PM by SunfireGaren

Yucca mountain was cancelled, but I toured a nuclear waste storage facility at the Nevada Atomic Test Site. It's this place:

I'm not sure what qualifies as "low level nuclear waste" that is stored there.

As far as I've had answered, that's mostly ancillary articles from the various experiments that took place on the site. Think like Curie's radioactive notebooks and such. There's still a number of "abandoned" areas on the NNSS awaiting evaluation and cleanup.
