> and since we unfortunately are not allowed to just sell the waste to Russia to dump in Siberia, we also have to dispose of it somewhere in Germany.

Isn't it actually sent to France for reprocessing ? (La Hague factory).

At least part of it is.

Yes, but it has to be permanently stored within Germany (if it comes from a German plant), i.e. is sent back here after reprocessing. Furthermore, you cannot reprocess this stuff indefinitely, so you’ll have to store it eventually.

Really, just dumping it in a large area somewhere in Siberia with a sufficiently scary fence around it and generous compensation for the few people who have to relocate for it would be the best solution.
