Question

Is the following true about spent nuclear fuel rods? If it is true, select the yes answer, if it is not, then select the no answer. Most spent nuclear fuel rods are stored right on the grounds of the nuclear power plants where they were used as fuel in reactors.

Yes

No

Info from the text: "Nuclear waste is all stored on-site and most of it is stored stroage pools."

One thing to note, the text says some of these fuel rods are stored in dry caskets on-site at the nuclear powerplants. I am not sure whether "right on the grounds of" refers to the storage pools or the dry caskets on-site. The answer would be false if it is referring to the dry caskets, but true if it talking about the storage pools. I am having trouble understanding the context of the question.

Explanation / Answer

step 1

"right on the grounds of" refers to the dry caskets on-site.  

step 2

"Most spent nuclear fuel rods are stored right on the grounds of the nuclear power plants where they were used as fuel in reactors."

this statement is false ( Answer = NO )

Explanation

The fuel is cooled by natural air flow in the dry caskets . the fuel is moves to the dry cskets after several years in spent fuel poor (where water present . here heat of fuel significantly decrease ) .

therefore spent fuel pool not reffering to "the right on the ground of "
