(1) The leaking fuel rods will be encapsulated in lead.

(2) We put uranium into the fuel rods.

(3) He glows like a fuel rod.

(4) I agreed to get photos of the fuel rods for the Union in Washington.

(5) Energy Department officials say nuclear fuel rods have been safely transported for decades.

(6) Fuel rods typically last from two to six years and are highly radioactive.

(7) The stuck fuel rods had cooled to about 200 degrees from their 1, 200-degree operating temperature.

(8) A Green Party spokesman said that spent fuel rods are highly radioactive and potentially lethal.

(9) Reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods increases the volume of waste and should be undertaken only when necessary for safety reasons.

(10) Officials hope to avoid rupturing any fuel rods, which could release deadly radioactive gas into the containment building.

(11) After they are replaced, the spent fuel rods are cooled for several years in pools of water at the plants.

(12) Bailey said that if even one of the fuel rods leaks, Palo Verde officials would put the plant on alert.

(13) This tube is called a fuel rod.

(14) The assembly is called a fuel rod.

(15) But some will leave the fuel rod and hit the water molecules, or the air that is in the water.

(16) Pack the fuel rod into an assembly, and lots more atoms can affect one another—which means the reactions can release more energy.

(17) Indeed, ninety-five percent of a spent nuclear fuel rod is natural uranium, and so it can be put right back in the ground, just as it was found.

(18) In a fuel rod[sentencedict .com], lots of uranium atoms can crash into each other as they break apart.

(19) This is a traditional shot of a fuel rod glowing underwater.

(20) At the nuclear reprocessing plant they extract plutonium from spent atomic fuel rods.

(21) It will cost at least $4 million to encapsulate the leaking fuel rods in lead.

(22) In a power the uranium fuel is normally stacked in disks and contained in fuel rods.

(23) She allegedly had evidence that the plant was falsifying records to hide cracks in fuel rods.

(24) Bailey emphasized that officials do not want to rupture any of the 236 uranium fuel rods in the lone remaining assembly.

(25) After three years' work the last consignment of nuclear fuel rods has been removed.

(26) In the meantime, fire trucks are spraying water to help cool reactor fuel rod pools.

(27) The electric utility said that a total of 11,195 spent fuel rod assemblies were stored at the site.

(28) The technology of power adjusting is one of the key technologies of fuel rod ramp test.

(29) Since then, fire engines and concrete trucks have been used to pour thousands of tons of seawater onto the reactors and into the fuel rod pools.

(30) Several methods of destructive post-irradiation examination(PIE) including microstructure observing and measurement of mechanical properties of irradiated fuel rod were introduced.

(31) Japan's nuclear agency said there was a strong possibility that radioactive cesium detected at the plant after the blast was from the melting of a fuel rod.

(32) This residual heat decreases over time after the reactor is shutdown, and must be removed by cooling systems to prevent the fuel rod from overheating and failing as a barrier to radioactive release.

(33) It is true that part of [the] fuel rod may have been deformed or melting.

(34) In this paper the flame spreading rate (Vf), pyrolysis length (lp)and flame structure of PMMA fuel rod in an opposed air flow and quiescent environment were investigated.

(35) So the first "type" of radioactive material is the uranium in the fuel rods, plus the intermediate radioactive elements that the uranium splits into, also inside the fuel rod (Cesium and Iodine).

(36) "Fuel failure" is a better term to describe the failure of the fuel rod barrier (Zircaloy).

(37) The failed fuel assembly identification system is an important safety system which ensures safe operations of reactor and immediate treatment of failed fuel rod cladding.
