FAQs: Big Rock Point

Holtec will continue to ensure that the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation remains in a safe, secure, and environmentally responsible manner.  The federal government has the obligation to take receipt of used fuel located at nuclear stations across the country. At this time, there is no clear timeline for that action. Holtec has submitted its license application to build a consolidated interim storage facility for spent fuel called HI-STORE in New Mexico. Big Rock Point’s used fuel could be relocated to this facility.
