Description of Staff of Changes to the Final Rule in SECY-08-0170
- 1. On pages 14 -17, delete the response to Issue 1 and replace it with While EnPA does not require NRC regulations to be identical to EPAs, EnPA does direct the Commission to modify its technical criteria to be consistent with EPAs standards for a geologic repository at the Yucca Mountain site.
