Right now, the US stores spent fuel rods in spent fuel pools near the reactor, or in specially made storage vaults at each facility.
We are working on facilities to store spent fuel, such as Yucca Mountain, but at this point, that is embroiled in controversy.
Spent fuel rods from US nuclear reactors are typically stored on-site in specially designed pools or dry cask storage systems. The long-term storage solution, however, is to transfer the fuel rods to a geological repository, such as the proposed Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada.
Illinois is were nuclear power is most used
There are 104 operating nuclear reactors in the US. See www.nrc.gov for maps and lists
For now nuclear waste is stored on site where the waste was generated. In a few years US will begin to store nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain, Nevada but no official date has been set.

Saying nuclear energy is like saying Norwegian furniture. Nuclear power/energy is used everywhere, in 2009 20% of all electricity in the US was nuclear origin.
The atoll used by the US for nuclear weapons testing is called Bikini Atoll, located in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The infamous Castle Bravo test, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated by the US, took place there in 1954.
they store it until it becomes less radioactive
Rod cells are the cells responsible for vision in dim or dark light conditions. They are highly sensitive to light and help us see shapes and movement in low-light environments.
the u.s. used non nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons against japan
The US tested nuclear weapons on its own territory including the deserts of the continental southwest US.
