Conceived in 1992, HI-STAR 100 is the nuclear industry\u2019s first high-capacity, multi-purpose canister (MPC) technology-based system which is equally proficient at storing the spent nuclear fuel on an ISFSI pad, or at transporting its highly radioactive payload over land or water. HI-STAR 100 is engineered to accept one multi-purpose canister containing a 68-cell fuel basket for BWR fuel, a 24-cell flux-trap or a 32-cell non-flux trap fuel basket for PWR fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to HI-STAR 100, HI-STORM 100 (acronym for H<\/u>oltec I<\/u>nternational S<\/u>torage M<\/u>odule) is strictly a storage device, albeit an extremely rugged and robust one. Conceptualized in 1993, HI-STORM is a vertical ventilated system that promotes passive air cooling of the stored canister. HI-STORM is available in multiple models. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
