Design, licensing and construction of the first of three storage pads for the Surry Power Station Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) was completed in 1986 to increase spent fuel storage at the Station. Designed to use large, metal dry storage casks, the Surry Power Station ISFSI will accommodate 84 such casks with a total storage capacity of 811 MTU (1764 spent PWR fuel assemblies). The Surry Power Station ISFSI is located in a wooded area about 1000 meters (3300 feet) east of the reactor facilities. In March 1991, Virginia Power loaded an NAC-I28 storage cask designed, licensed and fabricated by the Nuclear Assurance Corporation. This cask holds 28 spent PWR fuel assemblies and is constructed of stainless steel, lead, and a solid neutron shield material. This is the second cask design used at the Surry Power Station ISFSI.
