Why is the concept of site selection, in storing nuclear waste, so important?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The concept of site selection, in storing nuclear waste, is so important because it must be handled safely in order to minimize the possibility of an accident and the spread of radioactivity. Nobody wants another Chernobyl accident that affected so many people.

Nuclear waste is the fuel that was used in a nuclear reactor. The fuel is classified as high-level radioactive waste. The fuel has to be removed and store in a safe way until a permanent disposal site is available.
