Description
English: Nuclear fuel pellets and a fuel rod
Deutsch: Brennelement und radioaktive Brenstoffpelets
Date 27 June 2005
Source This picture is from the Yucca Mountain Project website of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management.
Original caption:
These pellets of enriched uranium will be sealed inside metal fuel rods to generate electricity in a nuclear reactor. After three or four years in a reactor, the pellets will become inefficient for producing electricity and the fuel rods will be removed from the reactor. After removal, the fuel rods (now called spent nuclear fuel) will be highly radioactive, requiring safe long-term disposal.
