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 that everybody hopes we don't have to contemplate. the other reason the spent fuel rods are potential...

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 the pools are. when a reactor shuts down, you have to worry about the cooling system over the fuel ...
