NRC Refines Rules for Nuclear Waste Canisters
Published Date: 2/27/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The NRC is updating the rules for storing used nuclear fuel in the NAC Multi-Purpose Canister system by adding Amendment No. 9 and tweaking Amendments 6, 7, and 8. These changes clarify how the concrete parts of the storage cask are built and tested, making sure safety standards are clear and up to date. This affects nuclear facilities using these canisters but won’t cost extra or cause delays.
