IN RESPONSE, PLEASE November 21, 2005
The Commission approved a Memorandum and Order responding to the NRC staff request for a stay of the Licensing Board’s ruling in LBP-05-27 requiring the Department of Energy (DOE) to make available on the Licensing Support Network two drafts of DOE’s license application for a high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain. The Memorandum and Order denies the stay. Commissioner Jaczko did not participate in this matter. (Subsequently, on November 21, 2005, the Secretary signed the Memorandum and Order.)
The Commission approved a Memorandum and Order responding to a petition from intervenors Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) and Public Citizen (PC) which alleges seven Licensing Board errors. In CLI-05-21, the Commission addressed one of those alleged errors (regarding waste disposal impacts) and remanded an environmental contention on disposal impacts to the Board. The Memorandum and Order denies review of the pending issues raised in the intervenor’s petition for review of LBP-05-13. (Subsequently, on November 21, 2005, the Secretary signed the Memorandum and Order.)
