Please enlighten us. I know how the spent fuel rods are stored at the South Texas Project (STP) nuclear power station. All of it is still on site under 60 feet of water in the spent fuel pool. As I understand it, that is also the case with the other 65 active power reactors in the U.S.
However, I am also aware of the shutdown and razing of at least one old reactor (somewhere in New England, I think). What did they do with the spent fuel? How about government reactors and Navy ships? Where does that spent fuel go? How is it processed?
