    The answer is C.) sending them on the shuttle to be suspended in space. This is the answer because after the nuclear fuel rods come out of the reactor, they go into a deep pool to cool off. Then they are then stored in concrete and lead-lined casks for dry storage, until, ultimately, the US government builds a deep underground storage facility to house them permanently. They are never sent on the shuttle to be suspended in space. It would be too costly and too dangerous.
