Yucca mountain is a great second choice. It's a freaking solid granite mountain with no history of vulcanism in the last million years. It's a safe place to be. One plus is that the material is accessible if we figure out a practical use for it. Another plus is that it's all in one spot, and an easily defended spot at that. That spot is also far from any major population centers so if a most unlikely event were to occur, there wouldn't be vast numbers of people in the way.
The only problem that really exists with Yucca Mountain is that it's a damn good idea and using it would almost totally destroy all arguments the chickensh!t anti-nuke crybabies have against nuclear power.
What's wrong with simply storing the stuff in a pile out in the desert and hanging signs on it saying, in all languages "U Enter U Die"? Then update the signs as language changes?
