The NRC has established the LPDR because of the high degree of public and political interest in the proposal for the spent fuel installation by Private Fuel Storage, a consortium of 10 utilities. Private Fuel Storage has leased approximately 820 acres from the Goshute Indian Reservation for the facility. The NRC's Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards is reviewing the consortium's application for project and requested that the LPDR be established.

The Local Public Document Room collection is a microfiche file of all publicly available l NRC documents issued since January 1990, including documents pertaining to the Private Fuel Storage proposal. Documents available are generated by the NRC, the applicant, and interested parties that correspond with the NRC.
