Answer:

The most likely reason is that spent fuel bars can infect the community with radiation causing numerous health problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

A spent fuel is a fuel that has been exposed to irradiation in a nuclear reactor. This fuel expels radiation and this is one of the main reasons why a group of people oppose the storage of spent fuel bars in their community. This is because through this fuel can occur a leak of radiation contaminating the community and generating major health problems.
