Used nuclear fuel, or spent fuel, must be stored after use due to its radioactivity and heat generation. It is typically stored in specially designed pools of water at nuclear power plants to cool and shield radiation. After a certain period, it may be transferred to dry cask storage, where it is contained in robust, sealed containers that provide additional protection. Proper management and storage are crucial to ensure safety and prevent environmental contamination.

How is the rocket fuel stored?
Rocket fuel is typically stored in fuel tanks within the rocket's structure. The tanks are often made of lightweight materials such as aluminum or composite materials to minimize weight. The fuel may be stored separately from the oxidizer in different tanks, or they may be stored together as a single fuel mixture.
