The onsite storage facilities are designed to store spent fuel safely for as long as necessary. Progress Energy supports the construction of a permanent federal repository for used nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain, Nev. Meanwhile, the company will continuously update and upgrade the spent fuel facilities at the company’s nuclear plants to ensure safe and secure storage onsite.
