The Licensing Support Network (LSN)
responds to a congressional mandate that the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) reach a
determination on the Department of
Energy's (DOE's) application
for construction authorization for a high-level radioactive waste
repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, in a three-year time frame. To shorten the time
spent on the exchange of documents that may be used as evidence in the
NRC licensing proceeding,
the parties and potential parties to the hearing on
the DOE application will make
their documents available via the Internet before
the DOE license application is
submitted to the NRC.
The LSN provides a single place
where the parties and potential parties to the licensing hearing can search for
documents from any/all of those collections in a uniform way. During peak usage, access
to the system may be restricted to participants in the licensing process.
The LSN is codified in 10 C.F.R. 2,
Subpart J. This web site is administered by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel
of the NRC.
