| MEMORANDUM TO: | William D. Travers Executive Director for Operations |
| FROM: | Annette Vietti-Cook, Secretary /RA/ |
| SUBJECT: | STAFF REQUIREMENTS - SECY-00-0129 - WORKSHOP FINDINGS ON THE ENTOMBMENT OPTION FOR DECOMMISSIONING POWER REACTORS AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS ON FURTHER ACTIVITIES |
This is to advise you that the Commission has not objected to the development of a rulemaking plan to address the entombment option for power reactors subject to the comments provided below. The staff should provide the resources necessary to address this matter in a timely manner. The staff should ensure the ACNW is appropriately consulted during the rulemaking process.
| (EDO) | (SECY Suspense:2/1/01) |
The staff should closely coordinate this rulemaking with the ongoing efforts to update the generic environmental impact statement for the decommissioning of power reactors. The staff should include the entombment option in the GEIS recognizing that not all entombment proposals can be forecast but that the GEIS would provide a bounding analysis. The staff should also address the issue of entombing Greater Than Class C waste.
