Finland is the world's first and only such facility so far.

the law to build it is pretty universal, the world has essentially agreed to not export nuclear waste.

associating the progressive innovative green party with blocking progress is an interesting turn, there was no progress in the topic for decades, and the reason is rather that nuclear waste is like toddler art: first no one wants to take it, trying to toss it is met with loud and hefty protest, and at the end nobody knows where to take it.

don't the alps have lovely granite areas for the Finnish model?
