tldr: The 5th Circuit declared temporary nuclear storage facilities illegal. So the only legal places to store nuclear waste are at nuclear reactors, since no permanent site currently exists.

The best part is that recent idiotic Supreme Court rulings about regulations empowered the fifth circuit to make this declaration.
