Dear Mr. Garcia:
The enclosed presentation materials are forwarded in response to your letters of September 15 and 20, 1993, which confirmed my participation in two low-Level Waste Temporary Storage Workshops and requested materials for inclusion in the workshop manuals.
These materials will also be used by Jim Kennedy for his presentation at the Connecticut workshop. _ Separate title pages are enclosed for each workshop.
If you have any questions or comments, please call me at (301) 504-2004 or Jim Kennedy at (301) 504-3401.
Sincerely, CCEM. 9850 SV R. A. Nelson, Project Manager Low-level Waste Management Branch Division of Low-Level Waste Management and Decommissioning Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards

SUMMARY
ON-SITE STORAGE IS A LAST RESORT MEASURE.
IF LLW STORAGE IS REQUIRED, NRC IIAS GUIDANCE AND LICENSING AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES IN PLACE.
NRC IS CONTINUING TO ASSESS TIIE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE OR LICENSING REQUIREMENTS TO SUPPLEMENT TIIE EXISTING REGULATORY FRAMEWORK INCLUDING CONSULTATION WITIl STATFS AND GENERATORS.
NRC IS COMMITTED TO UPIIOLDING TIIE LETTER AND INTENT OF TIIE LLRWPAA.
TIIE COMMISSION IIAS PROPOSED A RULEMAKING IN SUPPORT OF ITS STORAGE POLICY AND TIIE LLRWPAA.
A FINAL RULEMAKING IIAS BEEN APPROVED TO ALLOW TIIE RECEIPT IIACK OF PROCESSED LLW llY REACTOR GENERATORS.
