Because of two things. first, a spent fuel pool that loses the cooling system and has the watery vap rate is a greater source of radiation leak than a reactor, simply because there are often more fuel rods in a spent fuel pool than in an active reactor. the stuff has to sit there for eight to ten years. sometimes they may get a lot of stuff in the same pool, which means there is a loss of cooling system to the pool if there is a meltdown, there is more uranium to form a bigger radioactive mass t...

Spent fuel pool than there are in an active reactor. the stuff has to sit there for eight to ten years. sometimes they may get a lot of stuff just sitting there in the same pool which means that there is a loss of cool iing system to that pool if there is a meltdown, there is more uranium to form a bigger radioactive mass that everybody is helping we never have to contemplate. the other reason though that spent fuel rods are potentially more dangerous than a shut down reactor is because of where...
