- Tom, Per your request, I found the following visual resources that might help us to better explain to our various stakeholders what's involved in the loss of the spent fuel rod segments at Vermont Yankee:
A DOE fact sheet on nuclear waste shows a section of a single rod being held in someone's hand, as well as a number of pellets from a rod: hKtt:/Iwww.ocrwm.doe.aovtymp/aboutlkevfacts.shtml The NRC Information Digest, on Page 88, features a graphic showing a cutaway view of a single fuel rod as well as a graphic of a fuel assembly:
http://www.nrc.qov/readinq-rm/doc-collectionsInuregs/staff/srl350/v1 5/sri 350v1 5.Ldf The student section of the NRC's web site contains a photo of a single rod being inspected:
http://www.nrc.pov/readinc-rm/basic-ref/students/radiation.html A photo of a fuel assembly, containing dozens of rods:
