Explain why spent nuclear fuel rods have to be treated as hazardous waste. Fast breeder reactors are seldom used anymore because of safety concerns, as they have a higher potential for explosions. But this explosion hazard does not come from the nuclear fission reaction. What does it come from? Explain your answer in just one or two sentences.

nah thinking this: control rods-Control rods are used in nuclear reactors to control the fission rate of uranium and plutonium. They are made of chemical elements, such as boron, silver, indium and cadmium, that are capable of absorbing many neutrons without fissioning themselves containment structure-A gas-tight shell or other enclosure around a nuclear reactor to confine fission products that otherwise might be released to the atmosphere in the event of an accident. Such enclosures are usually dome-shaped and made of steel-reinforced concrete. a moderator-The moderator is a material which slows down the speed of the neutrons. The moderator is usually made from water but some reactors use graphite.
