Nuclear waste concerns are overwhelmingly focused on \u201chigh-level waste\u201d, which is almost entirely spent nuclear fuel. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\nNuclear fuel is made up of metal tubes containing small pellets of uranium. These tubes are gathered into bundles for loading and unloading into the reactor. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

After nuclear fuel has spent about five years in a reactor making energy, it’s placed into a pool of water to cool off for another five years.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n(Storage pool at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station) pic.twitter.com\/F9NPUF2Ge6<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

After that, several bundles are placed inside concrete and steel “casks” and placed in rows next to the reactor.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n(Dry cask storage at Palo Verde)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\ntwitter.com\/@ParisOrtizWin<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Because uranium is very energy dense, the amount of waste is relatively small. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\nAll of the fuel rods ever used by the commercial nuclear industry since the late 1950s could fit on a single football field stacked about 50 feet high. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
