En France, lorsque le combustible a été utilisé (on dit aussi irradié), il est traité chimiquement de façon à séparer l'uranium, (U), le plutonium (Pu), les produits de fission (PF) et autres radioéléments. [...] Avant d'être retraité, le combustible irradié, dont la radioactivité est considérable, est stocké dans des piscines d'abord sur le site de la centrale puis à l'usine de retraitement, afin de permettre la décroissance des produits radioactifs de courte période. 6, record 2, French, - combustible%20%C3%A9puis%C3%A9
