Tais situation will prooably continue to exist for several more years.
Consequent 1y, spent fuel is accuaulating in onsite spent fuel storage pools; and as tne available onsite storage space is used up. acre facilities will not have i
adequate capacity to cisenargo a full reactor core to the stcrase pool.

Thus, the inaoility to disenarse a full core could preclude compliance with taese inspection requirements and continued operation.
