The staff continued their briefing of the Comission on the proposed rule on Technical Criteria for High-Level Waste Repositories.
The Comission directed the staff to ask for public coment on the need to consider or include a low population density as a condition for selecting a repository site.
The Comission requested that public cement be sought on oossible alternative ways to deal with human intrusion, one of which may be to eliminate intrusion as a consideration.
Chairman Hendrie suggested that the staff ask for public coment on whether the proposed rule should contain individual subelement requirements or a more general requirement on total system perfonnance that would be in compliance with the EPA Regulations on radionuclide releases to the accessible environment.
The Comission reached no decision on this proposition.
Comissicner Bradford indicated he would review the version of the proposed rule submitted by the staff en June 1,1981 to see which of the items in his previous memos remain open. He will then issue a new memo.
(Subsequently, he issued a memo dated June 2, 1981.)
The clarifying statement provided by the ELD in his June 1, 1981 memo discussing the relationship of 10 CFR 60.to other NRC regulations was approved by the Comissicn.
The staff should review the proposed rule to make sure the present language is consistent with the remcval. of the requirement to do a dose calculation (i.e.,
page12).
The Comission discussed, but left unresolved, the question of the application of this rule beyond the 10,000-year period cover ~ed by the EPA draft rule.
