[edit] Merge?
Radioactive waste contains pertinent text in several sections. Simesa 09:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- I do not think that they should be merged. Spent fuel is only one type of radioactive waste and there is enough information for another article. Also, the radioactive waste article is already fairly long and a merge would make it significantly longer, unless a lot of material is trimmed. -- Kjkolb 03:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the debate was move. JPD (talk) 11:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC) Used nuclear fuel → Spent nuclear fuel – "Spent nuclear fuel" and "spent fuel" are far more commonly used that "used nuclear fuel". While I know from experience that this is this case, Google results are better evidence. "Used nuclear fuel" gets 68,700 results, while "spent nuclear fuel" gets 1,330,000 results and "spent fuel" gets 2,050,000, which is 19 times and 30 times more results, respectively. -- Kjkolb 03:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

- Support. I have never heard the term "used" in this capacity; makes me think of a cigar-chomping guy in a loud plaid sportscoat yelling, "Only 20 gigabeqs on her! Owned by a little old lady who only powered her submarine on Sundays!" --SigPig 07:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
