The ISFSI is located adjacent to the plant although within its own security perimeter. As of the end of August 2011, there were 392 SNF assemblies in 22 casks (the photo only shows 20 cask modules). All casks are manufactured by Transnuclear – the NUHOMS cask system. The first eight casks containing 56 SNF assemblies, which were loaded under the site-specific license, used the 7P canister type. The other 14 casks containing 336 SNF assemblies, which were loaded under the general license, used the 24PTH canister type. As of the end of 2010, there was 3,900 metric tons of SNF stored at the four nuclear power plant sites located in South Carolina — Catawba, Oconee, Robinson and Summer.
