The ISFSI consists of 4 concrete pads, each approximately 250 feet long by 60 feet wide and each housing 20 modules. As of December 2011, there were 1,024 SNF assemblies stored in 32 dry casks. The cask manufacturer is Holtec — the Hi-Storm 100 cask system and the MPC-32 canister type. As of the end of 2010, there were 1,500 metric tons of SNF stored at the two nuclear power plant sites located in the State of Tennessee — Sequoyah and Watts Bar.
