No, seriously, measuring them is imposible at this time, we can only surmise their presence by the radiation drawn unto the formerly clean and tested A-OK caskets after they get out and around. There is ample record of this mysterious radiation on casket transfers performed in the 70s and early 80s - and, in fact, is the reasons why fuel rods, etc. were stored on site and kept in storage pools, way beyond the facilities designed capacity. The regulatory bodies regularly relegislated capacity quotas for all reactors here because transfer was, inexplicably, simply far too dangerous and uncontrollable.
If they could have designed a "safe" casket for fuel rods - long ago we would have already seen reactors disposing their spent fuel so as to allow for longer and more profitable reactor operation.
A safe fuel rod casket simply doesn't exist.
