fuel rod

Three and a half years ago we knew where the fuel rods were.

That still leaves the problem of the spent fuel rods.

And if progress is made, what happens to the fuel rods?

I slumped down on an old fuel rod case and looked at her.

It is also used as a covering for fuel rods.

The removal of the fuel rods is expected to take two months, he said.

But the fuel rods continued to heat, and shot past 1,000 degrees.

Many of these fuel rods are used in each nuclear reactor.

The annual replacement of the fuel rods a month later did not go too well either.

The fuel rods expand and break out of their sleeves.

So far as is known, the used fuel rods can be left there safely for decades.

Neither he nor Collins was in the same room with the fuel rods.

It is still used to store spent fuel rods, another source of contention.

The first step is to dissolve a fuel rod in acid.

First workers used strong acid to dissolve the fuel rods.

In addition, it only takes a small water spray to protect the spent fuel rods.

In some cases, the spent fuel rods sit on land that might have more valuable uses.

This would also include those workers who deal with radioactive waste and spent fuel rods.

The water was indeed flowing out and the fuel rods were beginning to glow.

His father works there as a consultant to makers of nuclear fuel rods.

Officials sought to play down the significance of removing the fuel rods.

It is separated from the fuel rods that actually generate the heat.

Recently active fuel rods produce more decay heat than older ones.

The fuel rods should be covered with water at all times to prevent meltdown.

"I saw no spent fuel rods in the cooling pool," he said.
