It's a political problem, maybe.

It's peculiar that it's a political problem in pretty much every country though? I know Finland is well on its way for long term storage but that's the only example I know of.

There's also quite a few cases where it is a technical problem. Gorleben in Germany for example.

It's a political problem in every country that shares its nuclear heritage from the ashes of WWII.
