No. 99-19

February 2, 1999

NOTE TO EDITORS:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has received three reports from its Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste following the committee's meetings December 15-17. The reports, in the form of letters, provide comments on:

-- development of a standard review plan for decommissioning;

-- the regulatory uses of importance measures for waste management and possible application to the proposed high-level radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada;

-- the Committee's September 1998 visit to German waste isolation authorities and facilities.

Copies of the reports are available through the NRC's Office of Public Affairs, the NRC's homepage (www.nrc.gov/ACRSACNW) and the Public Document Room.
