9:45 a.m.–11:15 a.m.: U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC’s) Plans

Standard After 10,000 Years (Open)—

NRC is proposing to amend its 

regulations at 10 CFR part 63 that 

govern the disposal of high-level 

radioactive wastes in a proposed 

geologic repository at Yucca Mountain. 

The proposed rule would implement 

EPA’s proposed standards for doses that 

could occur after 10,000 years but 

within the period of geologic stability. 

The Committee will continue its 

discussions with representatives from 

NRC’s Office of Nuclear Materials Safety 

and Safeguards on those proposed 

revisions. The NRC staff briefing will 

include the topics of radionuclide 

inventory, effects of climate change, and 

dosimetry. 

11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.: 

Reasonableness of NRC Infiltration 

Assumption in the Proposed Part 63 

(Open)—NRC’s proposed rule change at 

Part 63 specifies a value to be used to

years, as called for by EPA. The 

Committee will hear presentations from 

and hold discussions with 

knowledgeable subject matter experts on 

the reasonableness of NRC’s proposed 

infiltration assumption. 

1:30 p.m.–4:15 p.m.: White Paper on 

Low-Level Radioactive Waste (Open)—

The Committee will discuss a proposed 

white paper on low-level radioactive 

waste (LLW). NRC staff and 

stakeholders will provide perspectives 

on the subject. 

4:30 p.m.–5:30 p.m.: Preparation of 

ACNW Reports/Letters (Open)—The
