The radioactive remnants of Colorado's single attempt to generate power from a nuclear reactor are locked up in dry casks - 244, to be precise. Buried in layers of concrete and steel designed to withstand a jetliner crash, each cylindrical cask holds six nuclear rods - spent fuel that was used to fire the state's only nuclear power plant, the Fort St. Vrain plant near Platte ville, before faltering mechanics led to its shutdown in 1989.
