Public Meetings on Issues Associated

With the Licensing Process for a

Possible High-Level Waste Repository

at Yucca Mountain, Nevada; Overview

of NRC’s Formal Hearing Process

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of public meetings in

Pahrump, Nevada and Las Vegas,

Nevada.

SUMMARY: In response to public

requests, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) staff will continue

its series of public meetings on the highlevel waste repository licensing process.

The next meetings are intended to foster

an understanding of the hearing process

that the NRC would use to decide

whether to issue a construction

authorization for a possible repository at

Yucca Mountain, Nevada, if the U.S.

Department of Energy (DOE) were to

submit a license application to the NRC.

On April 15, 2001, the Commission

announced its intent to retain a formal

hearing process for evaluating a

potential license application for a

geologic repository. Both meetings will

be facilitated by Francis X. Cameron,

Special Counsel for Public Liaison, of

the NRC Office of the General Counsel.

Two meetings on this topic will be

conducted to acquaint the public with

the NRC’s high-level waste hearing

process. They will begin with an

overview of the events that would have

to take place before NRC would initiate

a formal hearing, a general review of the

NRC’s licensing role, and a general

description of the NRC’s formal hearing

process. These presentations will be

followed by a question and answer

period. In addition, members of the NRC

staff will be available for informal

discussion with members of the public.

The time, date, and location of the

Public Meetings are shown below.

Time/Date: Tuesday, May 22, 2001,
