Japan's 40 Years of Nuclear Waste

Based on what I have researched, Japan has been using nuclear energy since 1970. Much of the nuclear waste had been stored in Aomori. From what I have read, this area was devastated by the tsunami. Where is the 40+ years of nuclear waste? I think it is hard to believe that whatever it was stored in survived the earthquake/tsunami. What is the harm this waste can do?
