Description: Fuel from the Hanford N-Reactor comprises 85 percent of DOE’s spent nuclear fuel inventory. The fuel consists of metallic uranium assemblies (two concentric cylinders with zirconium-based cladding) that are 66 cm long and 5 cm in diameter. In fresh fuel, as shown here, the U-235 enrichment is 1.25 percent.
