UCS Comments on NRC’s Draft Spent Fuel Storage Study
July 22, 2013
In late June 2013, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission released a draft of its long-awaited study on spent fuel storage methods.
We thought the NRC’s study would answer the question of whether it is safer to store irradiated fuel in spent fuel pools or in dry storage at nuclear plant sites. This question arose after 9/11 for security reasons and resurfaced after Fukushima for safety reasons. The question is simple:
Are the risks from irradiated fuel better managed (i.e., lower) when it is in spent fuel pools or in dry storage?
