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

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to update its regulations for storing spent nuclear fuel by revising the Holtec International's HI-STORM Flood/Wind Multipurpose Storage System, which is currently listed as a 'List of approved spent fuel storage casks'. The proposed revision, Certificate of Compliance No. 1032, Amendment No. 0, Revision 1, aims to correct errors, clarify safety standards, and update the system's design.
