The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) confirmed that a rule change related to the NAC International, Inc., MAGNASTOR® Storage System will take effect on June 3, 2025. This change, published in March 2025, updates the system's listing on the "List of approved spent fuel storage casks" to include various technical improvements like new cask designs and capabilities. Although one public comment was received about safety concerns, the NRC decided that no changes to the rule were necessary. The rule will proceed as planned, without further modifications.
Simple Explanation
