Nuclear Casks Get Tipover Test: No Meltdowns Allowed
Published Date: 3/13/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The NRC is updating the rules for storing used nuclear fuel by approving a new version of the HI-STORM 100 storage system, called Renewed Amendment No. 19. This update changes how the system is tested to make sure it stays safe if it tips over, especially when using certain fuel baskets. This affects nuclear plants using these casks and helps keep storage safer without extra costs or delays.
