NRC, DOE TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING IN WASHINGTON
ON NON-HIGH LEVEL WASTE DETERMINATIONS

Members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s staff will hold a public meeting July 20 with counterparts from the U.S. Department of Energy to discuss agency interactions under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (NDAA) with respect to non-high level waste determinations at DOE facilities.

The meeting will be held at the L’Enfant Plaza Hotel, 480 L’Enfant Plaza SW, in Washington, D.C., in the Renoir Meeting Room, from 10 a.m. to noon. Members of the public are invited to participate and will have an opportunity to speak at designated points during the meeting.

Under the NDAA, NRC provides consulting and monitoring of DOE’s cleanup of certain tank wastes at its Savannah River Site and Idaho National Laboratory. At the July 20 meeting, officials from the two agencies will discuss the current status of implementation of the NDAA’s requirements, including agency-to-agency working meetings held during the past eight months.
