116C.776 ALTERNATIVE CASK TECHNOLOGY FOR SPENT FUEL STORAGE.
If the Public Utilities Commission determines that casks or other containers that allow for
transportation as well as storage of spent nuclear fuel exist and are economically feasible for
storage and transportation of spent nuclear fuel generated by the Prairie Island nuclear power
generating plant, the commission shall order their use to replace use of the casks that are only
usable for storage, but not transportation. If the commission orders use of dual-purpose casks
under this section, it must authorize use of a number of dual-purpose casks that provides the same
total storage capacity that is authorized under sections
116C.77 to
116C.779; provided, that the
total cask storage capacity permitted under sections
116C.77 to
116C.779 may not exceed the
capacity of the TN-40 casks authorized under section
116C.77.
