With respect to the current proposal of storing our own waste at a remote site: I am in favour of that.
With respect to storing waste for other countries:
I cannot agree that it is a moral obligation of ours to store it.
If a country wishes to use nuclear reactors then perhaps they should store their own waste.
Are there any countries that provide minerals or materials to other nations that then store the waste? I do not think that is the case.
However, is there an "opportunity" to store the waste as a commercial venture? Sure there is. Do we want to? well, that is the debate.
But putting it in terms of morality I think is overreaching.
