Notice of Additional Public Meeting

and Request for Comment on a Draft

Outline for a Technical Study

Concerning the National Ignition

Facility and the Issue of

Nonproliferation

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of additional public

meeting and request for comment.

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy

(DOE) held a workshop on September 8,

1994, to begin a dialogue with the

public concerning issues arising from

building and operating the National

Ignition Facility (NIF). Two public

meetings held on January 24, 1995, in

Oakland, CA, and on January 30, 1995,

in Washington, DC, continued this

dialogue, focusing on a draft outline for

a technical study that DOE is writing

concerning the NIF and the issue of

nonproliferation. Today’s notice is to

announce that DOE is adding an

additional public meeting in Livermore,

CA, on the draft outline for the study

and extending the written comment

period. DOE is requesting both oral and

written comments on the outline for the

technical study.

DATES: Written comments (11 copies)

are requested to be received by DOE on

or before March 16, 1995. Oral views

and data may be presented at an

additional public meeting to be held in

Livermore, CA, on March 9, 1995,

beginning at 1:30 p.m. and concluding

at 9:00 p.m. with a break for dinner from

4:30–6:30 p.m. The length of each oral

presentation is limited to 10 minutes.

ADDRESSES: All written comments (11

copies) and requests to speak at the

public meeting should be addressed to

U.S. Department of Energy, NN–40,

1000 Independence Avenue, SW,

Washington, DC, 20585, (202) 586–3012.

arrangements can be made in advance

by calling the phone number referenced

above.

The public meeting be held at the

following location: Research Drive

Conference Center, Room One, 2140

Research Drive, Livermore, CA.

Copies of the public meeting

transcripts and written comments

section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIF and

its potential impact on the

nonproliferation of nuclear weapons

was an issue which was raised at the

September 8, 1994, NIF public

workshop held in Washington, DC. As

a result of this meeting, DOE has

prepared an outline for a technical

study of this issue. The purpose of the

public meetings is to seek the comments

of the public on the outline for the

technical study and to ensure that the

issues the Department plans to address

in this study are comprehensive. As

such, DOE is soliciting the public to

provide oral statements concerning the

outline at public meetings and/or to

provide written comments. Addresses,

dates and times are provided at the

beginning of this notice.

Draft Outline

The working title that DOE is using is,

‘‘The National Ignition Facility and its

Potential Impact on the

Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons.’’

The outline that DOE is proposing to

use for the technical study is:

I. Introduction

• Thermonuclear weapons

—fusion secondaries

• Controlled thermonuclear reactions

—inertially-confined fusion

—ignition and burn

II. The National Ignition Facility

• Overview

• How NIF differs from

—magnetic confinement

—its predecessors, NOVA, etc., and similar

facilities in the U.S. and other countries

III. Fusion Science and High-Energy-Density

Physics

• What important science can be learned at

NIF?

• How is it learned?

• What may NIF do that couldn’t be done

before?

• What do scientists want to do?

—how does this differ from nuclear

weapons science?

IV. Horizontal Proliferation

• What could proliferators learn by

—access to NIF or comparable facilities?

—access to unclassified NIF data and

reports?

• What could proliferators do with this

information?

• How can this information be kept from

proliferators?

—classification/declassification issues

—access/experimental program control
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 7, 1995 / Notices 7181

• Alternate paths to the same or equivalent

information (or what could/could not be

done without this kind of information?)

• Other country plans for ICC

V. Vertical Proliferation

• What could U.S. weapons designers do

with NIF data?

—impact on advanced designs

—ability to address stockpile problems

• Plans for ICF research in other nuclear

weapons states

Opportunity for Public Comment

the Florida Power Corporation Service

area. Rate schedule JW–2–B is

applicable to Florida Power

Corporation.

Opportunities will be available for

interested persons to review the present

participate in a hearing and to submit

written comments. Southeastern will

evaluate all comments received in this

process.

DATES: Written comments are due on or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

Existing rate schedules are supported

by an August 1993 Repayment Study

and other supporting data contained in

FERC Docket EF94–3031–000. A

repayment study prepared in January

1995 shows that the existing rates are

adequate to meet repayment criteria.

Approval of existing rate schedules JW–

1–D and JW–2–B expires September 19,

1995. Southeastern is proposing to

extend existing rate schedules for five

years, to September 19, 2000. In

developing the rate extension,

Southeastern considered revenue

requirements as determined by the

January 1995 system repayment studies.

The studies are available for

examination at the Samuel Elbert

Building, Elberton, Georgia 30635, as is

the 1993 repayment study and the

proposed Rate Schedules.
