1 Chairman Jackson's comments on SECY 98-239 After reviewing the evaluations of post-disposal criticality at three disposal sites, the conservative assumptions employed by the staff and its contractors, and the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste recommendation that significant research on post-disposal criticality is unnecessary, I approve the staff recommendation to cease further post-disposal criticality research at low-level waste disposal facilities.
Additionally, as directed in the SRM on SECY 98-010, I continue to recommend that the staff continue the development of the guidance on emplacement criticality, and I approve the staff recommendation to address the disposal of unusual moderators as part of this guidance.
