The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) confirmed that a rule, initially published on November 9, 2020, will take effect on January 25, 2021. This rule amends the listing of Holtec International's HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System to include changes for a specific certification. These changes update technical specifications related to radiation protection and operational conditions. Although one comment was received on the rule, it was deemed insignificant and did not alter the implementation of the rule.
Simple Explanation
The government checked and made sure that a new safety rule for storing used-up nuclear stuff in special containers will start soon. Even though someone had a question about this rule, it wasn't a big deal, so they are moving forward with it.
