==1.0    BACKGROUND==

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has under consideration and is anticipating applications for Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations and Dry Cask Storage. Applications which are expected include license renewals, license amendments to modify existing facilities, and licenses for new facilities.
Environmental reviews of the applications must be performed to determine whether or not to issue licenses or amendments to the applicants. The complexity of the reviews is such that a broad range of technical expertise is required to conduct these reviews to provide reasonable assurance that the public health and safety and environmental values are protected.
2.0     OBJECTIVE The objective of this project is to conduct environmental reviews related to the subject facilities. The exact number and scheduling of reviews have not yet been determined.
       - 3.0    DISCIPLINES REOUIRED Expertise will be required in many areas, e.g., ecological and interrelated l       earth sciences, hydrogeology. radiological assessments, socioeconomic, and disciplines related to cost-benefit analyses. The reviewers may be required to prepare and present testimony as expert witnesses for hearings in support of their reviews.
j       4.0     LEVEL OF EFFORT The estimated total level of effort required to perform this is estimated to be 2.5 staff years for 1998. 4.0 staff years for 1999, and 4.0 staff years for 2000.
l
: 5. 0   PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance for the work specified in this Statement of Work (50W) will commence on the effective date of the agreement and will continue through 12/31/2000.
