DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY

BOARD

Pursuant to the provisions of the

‘‘Government in the 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: 8:30 a.m. March 6, 1995.

PLACE: Ramada Inn, 8773 Yates Drive,

Westminster, Colorado 80030.

STATUS: Open.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED:

1. Safety issues of storing unstable

plutonium residues and available

processing technologies.

2. Current practices for storing

plutonium.

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 unmediated. 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 juncture 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,

Front Range Community College, 3645

West 112 Avenue, Westminster, CO

80020, 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 accord with the powers granted to

the Board, a public hearing will be

conducted by the Board in an open

meeting. The board has invited

recognized experts in the field of

plutonium treatment and storage to

testify at this hearing in order to assist

the Board and to inform the public as to

proper treatment of plutonium

residuals. 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, Front Range

Community College, 3645 West 112

Avenue, Westminster, CO 80020.

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 22, 1995.

John T. Conway,

Chairman.
