Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Used nuclear fuel can be recycled to make new fuel and byproducts. More than 90% of its potential energy remains in the fuel, even after five years of operation in a reactor. The United States does not currently recycle used nuclear fuel but foreign countries, such as France, do.
