What Does SNF Stand For?
SNF stands for Spent Nuclear Fuel
Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) refers to used nuclear fuel that has undergone irradiation in a nuclear reactor. After its use, SNF contains a mix of radioactive isotopes, including fission products and actinides, which remain hazardous for thousands of years. Proper management and disposal of SNF are critical to ensuring environmental safety and security, as it poses significant health risks if not handled appropriately. Effective strategies for SNF involve storage, reprocessing, and potential long-term geological disposal.
