Holtec casks do not present any risk to the public and are as safe as any other cask system. Holtec casks are licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and designed and analyzed to meet the same stringent safety limits and criteria as all other casks by other suppliers in the United States. In addition to the United States where Holtec holds 13 certifications from the NRC, Holtec’s systems for storage and transport of used nuclear fuel have been vetted and independently accepted by nuclear regulators in 13 different countries.
