Procedurally, the choices for making this information 1.2 Need for Action available are through the following publications:
De construction and operation of a water-basin-type Regulation independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) are NUREG-series report being considered by various organizations within the nuclear Branch position paper industry.
