While used nuclear fuel, sometimes referred to as spent nuclear fuel, is created during the process of generating nuclear energy, clean energy generated from this fuel would be enough to power more than 70 million homes. Upon discharge from a nuclear reactor, the UNF is initially stored in steel-lined concrete pools surrounded by water.
