"Ultimately government is who will pick up the tab, as they always have for any and all long term liability."
In the US, the government is ultimately liable for nuclear waste disposal and storage. It was set up that way to be sure that waste materials were not being diverted. It was also seen as the best way to ensure that waste was properly disposed of. The downside is the US government hasn't kept up its side of the deal and waste is being stored on power plant sites instead of a secure location. Yucca Mountain may be dead at this point. Lots of stuff gets buried at the Nevada Proving Grounds and there doesn't seem to be a bad reason to at least stage material that is in dry cask storage there for now.
