I'm just generally talking the point at which they consider the fuel spent. I was 11 years a nuclear power plant operator and reactor chemist in the navy. Thankfully I have forgotten all the stuff I probably am not supposed to tell. I will say there ain't nobody as good and safe at running nuclear power as the US Navy.
