We are pleased to announce that the Holtec Training Center for used fuel outage implementation, long in the making, is nearing completion.

The presently approved certificate contains one regionalized heat load pattern for the MPC-37 and one for the MPC-89 and focuses on plants that have a broad mix of “new” and “old” spent fuel assemblies in their spent fuel pools.
