The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing updates to the spent fuel regulations regarding the NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR® Storage System. This proposal aims to include Amendment No. 14 and revisions to Amendment Nos. 0 through 13 for the certificate of compliance. These revisions involve enhancing evaluation methods for tipover accidents, clarifying specifications related to reactor fuel assemblies, and correcting typographical errors. The NRC invites public comments on this proposal by February 3, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission wants to update some rules about storing used-up fuel from nuclear plants to make sure everything is safe and clear. They are fixing some errors and adding more details to their rules, and they want people to tell them what they think about these changes by February next year.
