Nuclear power plants generate electricity by splitting uranium to produce heat and drive turbines. After about two years uranium is considered used up, or âspent,â and replaced with fresh fuel.

Those pools, however, are filling up and will reach their limit by 2015, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which has led to storage of waste in dry casks at reactor sites.
