I'm gonna hazard a guess that the "consideration" was not from actual scientists but rather activist homeowner groups in every potential site.
NIMBYism and nuclear, name a more iconic duo
I mean, can you blame them? Why would anyone want toxic waste in their backyard? Not to mention that the search is mainly conducted by companies, which have a vested interest in not making all the issues transparent.
Having said that, I am not aware of the 'scientists' coming up with good suggestions either. Gorleben got hemmed and hawed around for the longest time, but its selection process was non-scientific from the start.
It's genuinely not easy to find a location where anyone would be willing to claim that it will remain unaffected by geodynamic processes for millions of years. And we don't have a big desert or some other unpopulated area where you could chuck it without political opposition, when it's not 110% safe to do so.
Yes. I do it a lot.
It's not toxic, nor is it in their backyard.
What issues?

It is toxic and they wrote "NIMBY", which means "not in my backyard", which is what I used figuratively here.
Depends on the location. In Asse, there is water entering into the caverns, for example.
You should inform the BGE about it. They'll be glad to hear all their challenges are solved.
