You have a misapprehension there, it is uranium oxide that is used in fuel rods, not fossil fuel
fuel rods
The fuel rods used in a nuclear reactor are made from uranium 235(U-235).
Uranium-235
it is a poison to humans. it is the smell that it is.
Known as fuel rods, these are hollow metal rods that contain the uranium fuel for a nuclear reactor.

In water reactors the fuel rods are clad with zircaloy sheaths
No, but control rods do.
The nuclear fuel is found in the fuel rods. These fuel rods are formed into fuel bundles called fuel assemblies, and together they make up the reactor core.
The nuclear fuel rods in the BWR design in Japan are about 12 feet long.
Water is pumped around the fuel rods.

The cannot as they are inserted in holes in steel support frames that hold several dozen fuel rods. When changing fuel, complete steel support frames are switched and individual rods are not handled.
