Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / How much does nuclear waste storage cost?

Isn't Yucca mountain leaky already? Like any "permanent" nuclear waste storage site I've ever heard of? How people can possibly think that they will be able to build something that will last 200,000 years without getting so much as a crack is utterly mysterious to me. It's the same people who believe that it's even easier than going all renewable. The thing is that several studies show that 100% renewables is possible with today's technology while I highly doubt that such independent studies exist for nuclear waste storage.
For Germany for example it would cost every German 20 € every month for 40 years to do it now. But that really means starting today. I already get 100% green electricity that costs about 5% more than what I paid before and a fixed amount of that money is invested in new facilities. If that's not money well spent then what is?
