NRC'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON NUCLEAR WASTE TO MEET NOVEMBER 15-16 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste (ACNW) has scheduled a technical meeting November 15-16 in Rockville, Maryland, to discuss a number of issues related to nuclear waste management.
The meeting, which is open to the public, will begin at 8:30 a.m. each day in Room T2B3 of the NRC's Two White Flint North Building, 11545 Rockville Pike.
As part of the second day's schedule, the committee will meet with the NRC Commissioners at 2 p.m. in the conference room on the first floor of the One White Flint North Building, 11555 Rockville Pike, to discuss items of mutual interest.
The ACNW was established by the Commission in March 1988 to advise it on all aspects of nuclear waste management.
While anyone may attend the meeting, the committee will consider only oral or written statements arranged in advance and limited to specific matters set forth in a notice of meeting that was published in the Federal Register on November 7.
Topics for discussions at the meeting will include:
--Key technical issues and their relation to the solution of licensing questions;
--Alternatives to the future course of NRC's low-level radioactive waste disposal program;
--Proposed committee reports to the NRC, including comments on the NRC staff's low-level waste program alternatives paper;
--Items of current interest related to the NRC's Division of Waste Management programs; and
--Future activities of the committee.
Persons wishing to submit a statement regarding an agenda subject may do so by providing a readily reproducible copy to the committee at the beginning of the meeting or by mailing it in advance to the Executive Director, Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555.
(ACNW schedules are subject to change.
