At the Fukushima site, the backup power supply, essential for maintaining vital safety functions such as cooling the reactors and spent fuel rods, was not properly protected.

While the report did not recommend placement of older spent fuel into dry storage casks, it did advise the less expensive method of rearranging spent fuel in the pools so that hotter, newly discharged fuel would be surrounded by cooler, older spent fuel.

Instead, it is stored in spent fuel pools.

Non destructive measurements were performed on the irradiated fuel in the spent fuel storage.

The fuel, like I said, is ceramic inside zirconium fuel rods, and in the event of an accident in one of these type of reactors,

No reprocessing or export of spent fuel has ever taken place.

Japan, which is poor in energy resources, utilizes nuclear fuel that is extracted by processing plutonium from spent fuel.

In reactors, the radioactive products are the nuclear waste in spent fuel.

Increasingly, time will have to be spent looking for fuel or fetching water.

Valuable information about the history of the spent fuel was thereby irretrievably lost.

Several decades from now, reprocessing might offer a safe means of spent fuel disposal.

About 25 years ago, the German government began requiring spent fuel to be well protected.

You probably spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on fuel and photocopying and per diem.

Countries that wish to develop nuclear energy but not nuclear bombs should be given international guarantees of fuel supply and disposal of spent fuel.

In a nuclear power plant, you have a big pot of water that's under high pressure, and you have some fuel rods, and these fuel rods are encased in zirconium, and they're little pellets of uranium dioxide fuel, and a fission reaction is controlled and maintained at a proper level, and that reaction heats up water, the water turns to steam, steam turns the turbine, and you produce electricity from it.

Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management

Chemical compounds including such material and plutonium in spent fuel elements also belong to this category.

Data from the installed spent fuel rod counter were collected for evaluation and comparison with records.

It is possible, the thinking now runs, to design and build nuclear plants that can keep the fuel rods cool even if all power is lost.

The older spent fuel that has cooled for about five years is placed in hardened, dry storage casks, and the younger, more radioactive, and hotter spent fuel is cooled in pools of water surrounded by strong containment structures.

Industry has also been concerned about minimizing workers exposure to radiation when they transfer spent fuel to casks. Moreover, there is a risk of further radiation exposure during the transfer of spent fuel from the casks to permanent storage.

Of equal concern to Ukraine is the problem of the disposal of spent fuel from the plant.

It remains committed to handling the waste contained in spent fuel in a safe and appropriate manner.

for them await hooked iron rods

For they each cast down their rods, and they became serpents but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

Industry has also been concerned about minimizing workers exposure to radiation when they transfer spent fuel to casks.

We should not wait for the next Fukushima Daiichi to act on reducing the risks of spent fuel.

30. Since 1990 the UK has spent some 130 million on energy and fuel efficiency awareness and advice.

Given this background, it is quite possible that this time Iranian domestic politics will not undermine a new agreement to swap Iranian LEU for fuel rods for the TRR.

And the problem with a traditional nuclear power plant like this is, you've got these rods that are clad in zirconium, and inside them are uranium dioxide fuel pellets.

And for them are rods of iron .

for them are hooked rods of iron .

They will be subdued by iron rods .

Moses spoke to the children of Israel and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

And for them are hooked rods of iron .

Oh, yeah. Midgets, hot rods, everything but Indianapolis.

Unfortunately, spent fuel storage has been an afterthought, as Ernest Moniz, Director of the Energy Initiative at MIT, puts it.

The dry storage casks for spent fuel outside Ignalina NPP were commissioned in 1999, but have been almost filled in.

21. In any case, the Estonian authorities believe that it would take only a few months for the Russian authorities to remove the nuclear fuel rods, nuclear reactors and other military equipment.

Moreover, there is a risk of further radiation exposure during the transfer of spent fuel from the casks to permanent storage.

Sweden has ratified the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.

The spent fuel has been stored on the Ignalina NPP site since the start of operation of the Nuclear Power Plant.

So far, 15 radioactive lightning rods have been removed.

They might also seek a standstill on the deep underground enrichment facility at Fordow, near Qom, in exchange for provision of fuel rods for Iran s research reactor and a freeze on some sanctions.

He added that quot the situation is similar in the nuclear fuel rods storage facility which requires three inspections per year, and where only one inspection has been performed in May 1992. quot
