Interpretation: To give the two sources of radioactive nuclei present in spent fuel rods.
Concept Introduction: The major source of nuclear waste is fuel rods.
Answer to Problem 21LC
The two sources of radioactive nuclei present in spent fuel rods are fission species and the remains of nuclear fuel.
Explanation of Solution
Spent fuel rods are considered high-nuclear waste. The two sources of radioactive nuclei present in spent fuel rods are fission species and the residues of nuclear fuel.
The fuel rods are composed of fissionable isotopes, i.e., either uranium or plutonium isotopes. These rods are long as well as narrow in nature.
The two sources of radioactive nuclei present in spent fuel rods are fission species and the remains of nuclear fuel.
