DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY

BOARD

Pursuant to the provisions of the

‘‘Government in Sunshine Act’’ (5 U.S.C.

§ 552b), notice is hereby given of the Board’s

meeting described below. The Board will also

conduct a public hearing pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 2286b to gather additional

information on technical issues underlying

the Board’s Recommendation 94–1.

TIME AND DATE: 9:30 a.m., March 22,

1995.

PLACE: The Conference Center

(Municipal Auditorium), 214 Park

Avenue S.W., Aiken, South Carolina.

The entrance to the facility is located at

215 The Alley.

STATUS: Open.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED:

1. Experience with and available

technologies for stabilizing transplutonium

solutions at the Savannah River Site.

2. Storage conditions of spent nuclear fuel

at the Hanford, Idaho and Savannah River

Sites.

3. Available technologies for stabilizing

spent nuclear fuel for interim storage at

Hanford, Idaho and Savannah River Sites.

CONTACT PERSON FOR MORE INFORMATION:

Robert M. Andersen, General Counsel,

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board,

625 Indiana Avenue NW., Suite 700,

Washington, DC 20004, (800) 788–4016.

This is a toll free number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board

repeatedly expressed the view that the

Department of Energy needs to

accelerate its current schedule for

converting certain unstable nuclear

defense-related materials to forms

suitable for safe storage. The Board’s

most recent effort to address this

potential threat to the public health and

safety was expressed in its

Recommendation 94–1, dated May 26,

1994. In that recommendation we

stated, among other things, that:

The halt in production of nuclear weapons

and materials to be used in nuclear weapons

froze the manufacturing pipeline in a state

that, for safety reasons, should not be

allowed to persist unremediated. The Board

has concluded from observations and

discussions with others that imminent

hazards could arise within two to three years

unless certain problems are corrected.

We are especially concerned about specific

liquids and solids containing fissile material

and other radioactive substances in spent

fuel storage pools, reactor basins,

reprocessing canyons, processing lines, and

various buildings once used for processing

and weapons manufacture.

It is not clear at this junction how fissile

materials produced for defense purposes will

eventually be dealt with long term. What is

clear is that the extant fissile materials and

related materials require treatment on an

accelerated basis to convert them to forms

more suitable for safe interim storage.

Recommendation 94–1 in its entirety

is on file at DOE’s Public Reading Room,

Gregg-Graniteville Library, 171

University Parkway, University of South

Carolina, Aiken, SC 29801, and at the

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety

Board’s Washington office. It is also set

forth in the Federal Register at 59 FR

28848.

In accordance with the powers

granted to the Board, a public hearing
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 1995 / Sunshine Act Meetings 10635

will be conducted by the Board in an

open meeting. The Board has invited

recognized experts in the fields of the

treatment and storage of spent nuclear

fuel and special nuclear materials to

testify at this hearing in order to assist

the Board and to inform the public as to

proper treatment of these materials. The

experts are expected to answer Board

questions based on their experience and

technical knowledge and to provide

additional documents as necessary. This

hearing is an information-gathering

function. Examination of those

appearing before us will be limited to

the questions put to them by the Board.

An opportunity will be available for

comments by members of the interested

public at the conclusion of testimony by

the experts.

A transcript of this proceeding will be

made available by the Board for

inspection by the public at the Defense

Nuclear Facilities Safety Board’s

Washington office and at the DOE’s

Public Reading Room, GreggGraniteville Library, 171 University

Parkway, University of South Carolina,

Aiken, SC 29801.

The Board intends further meetings

and hearings on these matters. The

Board will announce these by separate

Federal Register notice.

The Board reserves its right to further

schedule and otherwise regulate the

course of these meetings and hearings,

to recess, reconvene, postpone or

adjourn the meeting and otherwise

exercise its power under the Atomic

Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

Dated: February 23, 1995.

Chairman.
