Should every country, that operated nuclear facilities care for its own nuclear waste?
Pros
Cons
If countries are obligated to take care of the nuclear waste they produce, then they are likely to be deterred from utilizing nuclear facilities.
Nuclear waste, if not dealt with, is extremely damaging to the environment. If countries are not made to take care of their nuclear waste then this waste may end up being damaging to the environment.
If a country operates a nuclear power plant, it gets the revenue and therefore, it should be responsible for the waste it produced.
More diversity in nuclear waste disposal solutions is unsafe for the humanity.
The significance of a current country is meaningless compared to the obligation to save thousands of generations of humans form the dangers of nuclear waste. If you only consider the changes of nations borders in the last century, you understand, that a country is not a useful group to define how many waste disposals should be
The electric power, produced by the nuclear power plants was fed into a power grid, that is normally not only national limited. Therefore, the power was also used by different countries. So all the countries, that used nuclear power have to care for the waste together.
