Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear Fuel Cycles Spent fuel discharged from a power reactor contains residual 235U and converted plutonium, as well as fission-product and transuranic wastes. These constituents are separated from each other in the spent-fuel processing or reprocessing step of the fuel cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Right now, all of the nuclear waste that a power plant generates in its entire lifetime is stored on-site in dry casks.
