Dry Cask Storage

Dry Cask Storage is an interim nuclear waste storage method in which spent nuclear fuel that has cooled sufficiently in a spent fuel pool is transferred to sealed, inert-gas-filled metal canisters enclosed within robust metal and/or concrete overpacks that provide passive decay-heat removal and radiation shielding in an above-ground configuration.
