Answer:

at the nuclear reactor site

Step-by-step explanation:

In the United States, liquid high-level waste is stored in underground tanks pending vitrification. High-level waste is stored at the nuclear reactor site.

Such waste was created by the weapons programs of the cold war and the Manhattan project. This waste can not be vitrified as there were not enough funds for further processing.
