Holtec and SNC Set Pool to Pad Cask Loading Record at Farley

Earlier this month, the Holtec dry cask loading crew at Southern Nuclear’s Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant placed the eighth and final cask of the 2014 campaign on the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) pad. This accomplishment set a Southern Nuclear Operating Company fleet record for the most casks loaded in a single Used Fuel Loading Outage (UFLO).
