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: httn://www.ocrwm.doe.aov/vmo/about/kevfacts.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:

htto://www.nrc.aov/readinci-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1 350/vi 5/sri 350v1 5.gdf The student section of the NRC's web site contains a photo of a single rod being inspected:

httD:p/www.nrc.pov/readinp-rm/basic-ref/students/radiation.html A photo of a fuel assembly, containing dozens of rods:
