Dry cask storage area. Dry cask storage is a method of storing high-level radioactive waste, such as spent nuclear fuel that has already been cooled in a spent fuel pool for at least one year and often as much as ten years. [1] [2] Casks are typically steel cylinders that are either welded or bolted closed. The fuel rods inside are surrounded ...
At full production, the vitrification plant’s Low Activity Waste Facility should be processing about 5,300 gallons of waste per day or producing about 23 tons of glass per day, filling 3.5 ...
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 established a timetable and procedure for constructing a permanent, underground repository for high-level radioactive waste by the mid-1990s, and provided for some temporary storage of waste, including spent fuel from 104 civilian nuclear reactors that produce about 19.4% of electricity there.
