p:-

members met-on February 2, 1990, with representatives from DOE to begin l'

~ discussions.oflicensingofaMonitoredRetrievableStorage(MRS) facility.

I Staff members from the Division:of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety and.the-3 j

0ffice of:the General Counsel were in-attendance. A list of meeting attendee; u

l is: enclosed.'

C

- DOE hopes to construct and be.able to receive spent fuel at an MRS facility i

- by 1998. :ThisLtarget date would apply to a storage-only MRS facility, even u

though DOE --is reserving the option of ultimately-building a " full-capability"'

- MRS. facility, which would be able to repackage, consolidate, or'otherwise; handle _ spent' fuel. The license application may be for the full-capabilityL L

version.

'A site for the MRS' facility has-not been identified.' DOE williseek a l

volunteer. site, with the help of a' Nuclear Waste Negotiator if. possible, but without if necessary.: DOE-will probably prepare a non-site-specific.

environmental' analysis to~ help inform-local authorities at candidate sites of the features of an MRS facility. DOE may ask the NRC staff to review this L

document, as.well as several other pre-licensing documents dealing with such i

. things as siting criteria, facility design concepts,. and background information preliminary to an Environmental Impact Statement. We asked that-00E. inform us as far ahead of time as possible of their schedule for p

submitting a specific document for NRC review.

February 9, 1990 SomeDOE-representativessuggestedthat'a'MemorandumofUnderstanding.(MOU) 4

.between DOE.and NRC.might be desirable to define responsibilities and procedures' connected with the licensing of an MRS facility. >We offered the-

A DOE representative indicated that they thought meetings on DOE's MRS program

'at-approximately monthly _ intervals would be useful.
