U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Proposes Amendment to Spent Fuel Storage Cask Regulations

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to update its regulations for spent fuel storage casks by revising the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 dry storage cask system listing to include Amendment No. 7 to Certificate of Compliance Number 1014, which would allow for the underground storage of dry spent nuclear fuel and modify decay heat limits for damaged fuel and fuel debris.
