Northern States Power Company (SNP) is currently in the process of licensing an independent spent-fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at its Prairie Island nuclear generating plant. The proposed facility would utilize the TN-40 dry-metal storage casks, each holding 40 Prairie Island spent-fuel assemblies. The ISFSI consists of two concrete pads with a combined capacity of 48 casks for a total capacity of 1,920 fuel assemblies. In addition to a 10CRF72 license from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), a certificate of need from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission is required by state law.
