I don't believe you.

Occasionally by some fresakl of nature Rod speed is vctaully correct.

Used fuel rods are virtually useless and somewhat dangerous. And
covered
by so muuch tracking paperwork it is inconcievable that any went
missing
unnoticed.

Behind the iron curtain all bets are of course off.

But I thought spent fuel was used for making weapons.

Only in places like North Korea. In the first world they have
dedicated nukes to make whats used in bombs because
those do it much better than power generation nukes.

Its only the dregs of the world that can afford dedicated
nukes for producing whats used in bombs.

So used fuel rods are not useless then.

No one said they are useless, but they don't get stolen enough
to matter and trivial to ensure none get stolen except in the
dregs of the world like russia and you need to do a lot more
than steal a few used fuel rods to make a weapon.
