Typical.

Should not even be allowed to finance nuclear reactors before the long term storage facilities and recycling facilities

Why not? Its the governments responsibility by law to create a long term repository.

They made it their problem by law and forced the power plant operators (and thus the end consumers) to pay for it, but never delivered.
