From what I can see the Swedish used fuel repository doesn't allow for retrieval of buried material. I think Australia should store used fuel (commercial reactors and subs) in a disused outback mine in the Woomera Prohibited Area and worry about reprocessing later. Uranium came out of a hole in the ground; it and its alteration products can go back there.
