COMMISSIONER DIAZ'S COMMENTS ON SECY-99-059 - AGREEMENT STATE COMPATIBILITY FOR CRITICALITY REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO LOW-LEVEL WASTE DISPOSAL FACillTIES I approve the staffs plan to request Agreement State review and comment on the proposal to revise the compatibility of 10 CFR 61.16(b)(2) from category NRC to category Health and Safety. To assist the Agreement States to focus on the salient aspects of this issue, and thereby foster the development of more objective comments, the material provided to the States for review should:
show that LLW emplacement criticality is a realistic public health and safety issue; present an analysis that is supported by the results of recent technical assessments that have been done on emplacement criticality of LLW; include the emplacement criticality guidance that is currently under development, and; provide a staff assessment of the potential resource impacts on Agreement States as a result of assuming what is currently a Federallevel assessment capability.
