A “deep geologic repository” is a place to store high-level nuclear waste. There are a lot of plans for such repositories around the world, but currently none exist.
While there are places that collect nuclear waste, none of them are considered permanent storage spaces.
10,000 tons of high-level nuclear waste are generated around the globe each year.
Friends of the Pleistocene has a great article on the efforts to create deep geologic repositories – Containing Uncertainty: Design for Infinite Quarantine.
