A train carrying nuclear waste somehow derailing or colliding with another train and thus causing a massive disaster, possibly wiping out Las Vegas or some other city, while en route to the Yucca Mountain Federal Waste Repository.


Possible options for spent nuclear fuel rods include?

burying them in deep caverns.removing lighter nuclei and reusing them re-mixing them and putting them back in the mines


What happens to spent fuel rods after they are removed?

they are stored temporarily (for few month) underwater for cooling and partially reducing its radioactivity, then transported to either long term storage (under water or dry storage in casks), or disposal sites, or to reprocessing facilities (to sparate the fuel into uranium, plutonium, and vitrified fission products.
