CORRESPONDENCE PDR i
Chairman Jackson's Comments on SECY-99-074 The staff has done a commendable job in its review of this voluminous, comprehensive snapshot of the high-level waste repository characterization and design. The staff use of Key Technical Issues and the associated issue Resolution Status Reports has helped to focus this difficult task and provide a transparent, constructive, and systematic method for identifying, communicating, and resolving issues related to the candidate repository at Yucca Mountain.
I approve of the staff draft letter by which the'six major issues will be transmitted to the Department of Energy. In addition, the results of the NRC review should be provided to the appropriate Congressional committees for information.
