###### Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board

March 14, 2007—Berkeley, California; The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board's Panel on Postclosure Performance will meet to discuss U.S. Department of Energy studies related to infiltration at Yucca Mountain in Nevada.

Pursuant to its authority under section 5051 of Public Law 100-203, Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board will meet in Berkeley, California, on Wednesday, March 14, 2007. The meeting agenda will focus on the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) infiltration estimates for the proposed repository site for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. The Board will review the results of nw infiltration studies undertaken by DOE. DOE conducted the new studies because of quality assurance questions that were raised about DOE's previous infiltration analyses. Information from the meeting will be used by the Board to evaluate effects of the new analyses on the technical validity of DOE infiltration estimates. The Board is charged by Congress with reviewing the technical and scientific validity of activities undertaken by DOE related to nuclear waste disposal, as stipulated in the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987.
