NRC'S ADVISORY PANEL ON ELECTRONIC INFORMATION SYSTEM
FOR WASTE REPOSITORY LICENSING TO MEET IN LAS VEGAS
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's special panel on
development and operation of an electronic information management
system--related to future licensing of a high-level radioactive
waste repository--will meet May 2 and 3 in Las Vegas.
The meeting will be in Pueblo Room #1119, Clark County
Government Center, 500 Grand Central Parkway, from 8:30 a.m. to
4 p.m. on Thursday, May 2, and from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., as
needed, on Friday, May 3.
The NRC established the Licensing Support System Advisory
Review Panel in 1989 to provide advice and recommendations to the
NRC and DOE concerning the design, development and operation of
an electronic information management system, to be known as the
Licensing Support System.
The system, which is not yet operational, would be set up to
contain documents of DOE, its contractors, and all other parties
to a licensing proceeding to be conducted when DOE applies for an
NRC license to build and operate a high-level waste repository.
The Licensing Support System would also contain documents of
interested government participants, contractors and potential
parties. All parties to the proceeding would have access to the
system from individual computer facilities.
The advisory review panel consists of representatives from
the State of Nevada; Nye County, Nevada; a coalition of other
Nevada counties and California counties adjoining Nye County; the
National Congress of American Indians; the nuclear industry; DOE;
NRC; and other Federal agencies that have experience with large
electronic information management systems.
The meeting agenda is as follows:
(1) System Administrator's report;
(2) DOE activity report, including its schedule for system
development, availability of the automated records, and a
demonstration of the system;
(3) System senior management team report; and
(4) Future panel activities.
Interested persons may attend as observers and may make oral
presentations or file written statements. But persons wishing to
make oral presentations should contact John C. Hoyle, Office of
the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC
20555, telephone: 301/415-1969, as far in advance as practicable
so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
