Holtec's HI-STORM system

Holtec's HI-STORM system is a safe, engineered storage solution designed to securely contain used nuclear fuel. It consists of robust, dry, metal canisters placed inside large, concrete-encased structures called casks, which provide radiation shielding and structural protection. This system allows for the safe, passive storage of nuclear waste at reactor sites or interim facilities, preventing the release of radiation and protecting people and the environment. It is engineered to withstand natural disasters and accidents, ensuring long-term security and safety for the stored radioactive material without the need for active cooling or ongoing maintenance.
