SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The President directed that 

the Commission be established to 

conduct a comprehensive review of 

policies for managing the back end of 

the nuclear fuel cycle. The Commission 

will provide advice and make 

recommendations on issues including 

alternatives for the storage, processing, 

and disposal of civilian and defense 

spent nuclear fuel and nuclear waste. 

The Commission is scheduled to submit 

a draft report to the Secretary of Energy 

in July 2011 and a final report in 

January 2012. 

This is the first closed full 

Commission meeting. Previous open full 

Commission meetings were held in 

March, May, July, September, and 

November 2010. Webcasts of the 

previous open meetings along with 

meeting transcripts and presentation are 

available at http://www.brc.gov. 

Purpose of the Meeting: The purpose 

of this meeting is to provide 

Commissioners with classified briefings 

and hold discussions which they are 

unable to receive in an open meeting 

because the disclosure of such 

information is specifically authorized 

under criteria established by Executive 

Order 13526 to be kept secret in the 

interests of national defense and is 

exempt from disclosure under the 

Atomic Energy Act, 42 U.S.C. 4161 and 

4162. 

The Commission’s charter directs the 

Commission to ‘‘conduct a 

comprehensive review of policies for 

managing the back end of the nuclear 

fuel cycle, including all alternatives for 

the storage, processing, and disposal of 

civilian and defense used nuclear fuel, 

high-level waste, and materials derived 

from nuclear activities.’’ In support of 

that effort, the Commission will receive 

classified briefings and hold classified 

discussions on various topics relating to 

fuel cycle technologies, material 

attractiveness and weapons usability, 

design basis threats to commercial used 

nuclear fuel and commercial power 

reactors, and Navy nuclear fuel. 

Therefore, the purpose for closing this 

meeting is proper and consistent with 

the exemptions set forth in 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c). 

Tentative Agenda: The meeting is 

expected to start at 8:30 a.m. on 

Thursday, February 3, 2011 and 

conclude at approximately 4 p.m. 

Public Participation: There will be no 

public participation in this closed 

meeting. As always, those wishing to 

provide written comments or statements 

to the Commission are invited to send 

them to Timothy A. Frazier, U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20585, e-mail to 

CommissionDFO@nuclear.energy.gov, or 

post comments on the Commission Web 

site at http://www.brc.gov. 

Minutes: The minutes of the meeting 

will not be available.
