    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a correction to a proposed rule involving the NAC International, Inc. MAGNASTOR Storage System. This rule, originally published in the Federal Register, adds Amendment No. 15 to the Certificate of Compliance No. 1031 for the system. The correction changes the phrase "head load" to "heat load" in the summary section of the document. The correction ensures the document accurately reflects the intended information.

    Simple Explanation

    The rules about how to safely store used-up nuclear fuel were almost mixed up because of a little typo, saying "head load" instead of "heat load," but don't worry, they've fixed it so the rules make sense now!
