    The storage facilities here in the US are scattered and usually near the Nuclear facilities themselves. These are just temporary storage facilities though and the US Government is trying to come up with a plan to permanently store the waste.Forty-three states in the United States, and several Canadian provinces, currently have nuclear waste storage facilities.
