In an earlier post here on FR someone said that fuel rods from the 3 Mile Island accident were stored for 14 years.

I got the impression that they were spent fuel rods. Were they then moved for additional cooling? I have no idea.

I don't know how accurate that information is nor do I have any expertise about nuclear plants.

The post did say that water had to be circulated around them for the entire 14 years.
