Unused nuclear fuel rods are not nearly as toxic nor radioactive as are spent fuel rods.

In their original form there is virtually NO Plutonium present, but during nuclear fission a certain percentage of the Uranium fuel is transmuted into Plutonium, the most toxic material known to man. Also the other transmuted elements created during the life of a fuel rod are generally much more radioactive than was the original Uranium.

Did you ever wonder how the fuel gets delivered to the nuclear plants?
