29. Waste: Storage Pools The spent fuel rod pool inside the Clinton Nuclear Power Plant in Clinton, Ill., is shown on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 1996. The water in the pool acts as a shield against radiation from the used uranium rods. The reactor was shut down due to an equipment malfunction Sept. 5, 1996. (AP Photo/Mark Cowan)

30. Waste: Dry Cask Storage In this photo released by Holtec International, dry cask storage units are seen at the James A. Fitzpatrick nuclear power plant in Scriba, N.Y., in this undated photo. The Vermont Public Service Board approved "dry cask storage," of spent nuclear fuel at Vermont Yankee, lifting the threat that running out of room in its existing spent fuel storage pool would cause the plant to close by 2008.(AP Photo/Holtec International)
