“The fuel rods, full of enriched uranium, are packed together in the core of the reactor”
-The Birth of Europe (BBC, 1991)
As the narrator said this, they showed a picture of the storage rack in the spent fuel pool. Classic. (See also the August 3, 2006 Anti-Nuclear Quote of the Day.)
Oh, and they’re not “full of enriched uranium.” They are 3%-5% enriched uranium, and given that they are uranium rods, that’s like saying “the I-beams, full of enriched iron, are packed together in the wall of the building.”
