High-Level Waste Disposal OversightCurrently the NRC has no direct safety oversight responsibilities for the potential Yucca Mountain repository, as there is no licensee. During the pre-licensing phase the NRC maintains an on-site representative office in Las Vegas, Nevada. See the On-Site Representatives Responsibilities page for more information about the activities of this office, including reports published by the on-site Representatives since January, 2000. A description of the NRCs role in the pre-licensing process is also available. In the future, if the DOE applies for a license, the NRC will have an oversight program. A description of how NRC conducts its oversight program for the high-level waste program, which could include inspection, will be available should the DOE apply for a license.
