Val, ley Site; i
,s t
.I (0) Storage of non-ut.ility weste at West Valley and utility waste at l
individual reactor plant-sites; and (3) Storage of non-utility waste.at two separate facilities to be located at the New York State F'ower Authority's Indian Point and Fit:Datrick sites.
Under this proposal, the storage of utility waste with nor-utility wae.te is also being considered.

m corammatic offices.
