December 16, 1986 Mr. Victor Stello, Jr.
Executive Director for Operations U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Dear Mr. Stello:
SUBJECT:
ACRS COMMENTS ON THE NRC STAFF REVIEW 0F DOE'S FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS OF HIGH-LEVEL WASTE REPOSITORY SITES On December 4-5, 1986, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards' Subcommittee on Waste Management met with the NRC Staff to discuss the Staff's review of the U. S. Department of Energy's Final Environmental Assessments of the five candidata sites for a high-level waste reposi-tory.
This matter was also discussed during the 320th meeting of the full Committee, December 11-13, 1986.
On the basis of the discussions at these meetings, we believe that the NRC Staff is focusing on the proper items in its review, that the Staff is taking-into account the relevant phenomena in conducting its evalua-tions, and that its approach appears reasonable.
We also concur that the Staff's primary objective should be i7 direct its attention to changes that the Department of Energy can incorpora te into the Site Characterization Plans (yet to be prepared), rather than seeking addi-tional changas to the existing Final Environmental Assessments.
Sincerely,
.I David A. Ward Chairman 4 0 w
