This has upset me for years. I work in powerplants. To clean the coal tubes in powerplants, they use Saccharine, they do not let us in the same room they store the saccharine in, without an oxegen supplying resperator. But it is fine to drink in your coffee. I talked to a health dept. employee friend of mine, and they checked and said it was fine, because the sacchrine for your coffee is only a 4% strength. Glad i dont drink it.

Additionally, they can be refueled, thus, they can be defueled, the Navy does this regularly. So I don't know where any of this information (or misinformation) stems from. But please stop.
It comes from several expert sources. Read the response I just posted above. And then I'll ask you to please stop. I was on a nuke ship. What you stated doesn't really mean anything concerning the spent fuel, and it's disposal, which is far less than a nuclear power plant by the way. Ships are comparatively very small and have an entire ocean to keep the reactors cool too.
spent fuel isn't that radioactive, it's spent. many reactors (all that i personally know of) are near major rivers and oceans.
Better look that up cause it can be used in Mox reactors. So, it ain't spent and depends on its radioactiveness. (temperature related).
