It's not only high level long-live which has to be stored deep and safe. Your source shows it pretty good, and therefore it's not "just" 0,2% but 9% + an unknown amount of VLLW.
However, the best thing about this "report" is what's not in there: DECOMISSIONING :D
France will be so full of nuclear waste at the end of this ridiculous era, they're going to protests about that over and over. Mo matter where anybody decides to put the waste.
But who knows, maybe by then the war with Russia is over and they can make it disappear there again....I'm sure that's the best solution for humanity.

See, again you're bunching very different types of waste together as if they were the same thing.
VLLW is "Very Low Level Waste". Disposal: Existing surface disposal. And yet, you're bunching it up with high-level waste.
So, to correct my calculations. Deep geological disposal is required for: High-Level Waste (HLW) and Intermediate-Level Long-Lived waste. Combined they are 3.1% of all waste.
Disposal for Low Level Long Lived Waste (LLW-LL) is in development, will be near-sruface disposal, 5.9% of waste.
Literally everything else, that is 91% of all waste, can be safely disposed of using existing surface disposal. 5.9% will be near-surface disposal. Only 3% will be buried deep.
But sure, do keep on spreadin FUD on how OMG THERE'S HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TONS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE WE DON'T HOW TO DEAL WITH.
What was that original FUD you were talking about? Oh, right: "Germany will have 300.000m³ of waste which needs to disappear for a long time in hope that nobody will ever get the idea of digging it out again."
Reality check: (conidering that the scary volume isn't made up) 9 000 cubic meters of that is something to be stored deep in the ground (and even if we don't have that storage, nuclear waste as it's stored is very safe, and can be stored for about a hundred years above ground).

You didn't. You clumped together different types of waste and pretended they are all the same.
> We have HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TONS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE WE DON'T HOW TO DEAL WITH in Germany alone.
And as it has been repeatedly shown to you, 97% of that waste poses no problem, and we know how to safely dispose of it. And the High Level waste we also know how to safely dispose of, and how to safely store until disposal facilities become available.
This is literally in the document I showed, you pretended you read, and couldn't be bothered top make an effort to understand it.
What you're doing is spreading FUD, pure and simple. And yes, politicians are just as susceptible to FUD and populism.
The absolute vast majority is low-level waste that we have not trouble with. See report on nuclear inventory: https://international.andra.fr/sites/international/files/202... page 14
The FUD around nuclear waste is FUD and politics
