No, it is just stored, actually contained in the spent fuel rods unless these are processed to separate out any useful material like plutonium. Most of the fuel rods discharged from US reactors are stored on the power plant sites in water filled tanks, but eventually some national repository will have to be built to retain this material safely for centuries to come.
