SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board

has repeatedly expressed the view that

the Department of Energy needs to

accelerate its current schedule for

characterization of high-level

radioactive waste in underground tanks

at the Hanford Site. On July 19, 1993,

the Board formally recommended to the

Secretary of Energy (Recommendation

93–5) that DOE accelerate its actions to

sample and characterize the Hanford

tank wastes. The Secretary accepted the

Board’s recommendation; however, the

Department’s efforts to date to

implement the Board’s recommendation

have been disappointing. The program

for characterization of the waste is well

behind schedule. The Board is informed

that recent deferrals of a number of

actions threaten to cause even further

delays.

In accordance with the powers

granted to the Board, a public hearing

will be conducted by the Board in an

open meeting. The Board has requested

staff members of the Department of

Energy, Westinghouse Hanford

Company, and representatives from

other organizations to brief the Board on

the current status of activities under the

Secretary’s implementation plan for

Recommendation 93–5. These

participants 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

the Board 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 the

presentations and the Board’s

questioning of the participants.

Anyone who wishes to comment,

provide technical information or data

may do so in writing, either in lieu of,

or in addition to making an oral

presentation. The Board Members may

question presenters to the extent

deemed appropriate. The Board will

hold the record open until April 12,

1995, for the receipt of additional

materials.

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, D.C. office and at the

DOE’s Public Reading Room, Richland

Operations Office, 100 Sprout Road,

Room 130 West, Richland, WA 99352.

Recommendation 93–5 in its entirety

is on file at DOE’s Public Reading Room,

Richland Operations Office, 100 Sprout

Road, Room 130 West, Richland, WA

99352, and at the Defense Nuclear

Facilities Safety Board’s Washington,

D.C. office. It is also set forth in the

Federal Register at 58 FR 40409.

The Board reserves its right to further

schedule and otherwise regulate the

course of this meeting and hearing, to

recess, reconvene, postpone or adjourn

the meeting, and otherwise excise its

power under the Atomic Energy Act of

1954, as amended.

Dated: March 9, 1995.
