COOLING OFF: Did you know used fuel is initially stored in steel-lined concrete pools of water that are about 40 feet deep and provide adequate shielding for anyone near the pool?
They are eventually stored on-site at the power plant that generated the used fuel.

Every team member plays a vital role during a planned nuclear maintenance and refueling outage, ensuring equipment reliability and personnel safety at every step!👷✅
From the Turbine Floor to Containment and beyond, crews have safely completed more than 9,000 work activities so far, making Sequoyah Unit 2 stronger than ever. Together, we are making this a successful outage for the 10 million we serve!💪⚡️
