Nuclear Power
Site-Specific and General Licenses
The NRC authorizes storage of SNF at an
ISFSI under two licensing options: site-specific
licensing and general licensing. Under a
site-specific license, an applicant submits a
license application to the NRC, and a technical
review is performed on the safety aspects
of the proposed ISFSI. If the application is
approved, the NRC issues a license that is
valid for 20 years. The license contains technical
requirements and operating conditions
(including fuel specifications, cask leak testing,
surveillance, and other requirements) for
the ISFSI and specifies what the licensee is
authorized to store at the site.
A general license authorizes a nuclear
plant licensee to store SNF in NRC-approved
casks at a site that is licensed to
operate a power reactor under 10 CFR Part
50. Licensees are required to demonstrate
that their site is adequate for storing SNF
in dry casks. The licensee must also make
any necessary changes to its security program,
emergency plan, quality assurance
program, training program, and radiation
protection program to incorporate the ISFSI
at its location. In addition, these evaluations
must show that the cask's technical
specifications covered in the Certificate of
8. On-site storage. Spent nuclear fuel storage canisters are designed to be placed either
vertically in aboveground concrete or steel structures, or stored horizontally in aboveground
concrete vaults. Courtesy: NRC

Compliance (CoC) can be met, including
analysis of earthquake intensity and tornado
missiles (objects accelerated by very
high winds). The NRC issues a CoC to the
vendor following a technical review and
approval of a dry storage system's design
in accordance with 10 CFR 72. The certificate
expires 20 years from the date of
circle 28 on reader service card
