I don't even think they consider long term storage because they plan on reprocessing waste and running reactors on plutonium laden mixes as a stop gap as Ur gets rarer and more expensive and until thorium reactors go mainstream. They won't admitt this yet because of the dangers of reprocessing but Korea is already tweeking a Candu for just this purpose. There is big money, big union and big mining backing nuclear and they've bought more influence than the public can afford.
