NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL REVIEW BOARD


Panel on the Engineered Barrier System: Meeting and Tour of the 
Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

    Pursuant to its authority under section 5051 of Public Law 100-203, 
the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987, the Nuclear Waste 
Technical Review Board's Panel on the Engineered Barrier System will 
hold a meeting on Tuesday, June 6, 1995, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and a 
tour of the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) site on 
Wednesday, June 7, 1995. The meeting will be held at the Shilo Inn, 780 
Lindsay Boulevard, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83402; Tel (208) 523-0088; Fax 
(208) 522-7420. The meeting and tour are open to the public; however, 
space on the tour is limited and advance reservations are required.
    The panel meeting on Tuesday will focus on three areas of interest 
to the Board: (1) government-owned spent nuclear fuel at INEL (its 
description and plans for its eventual permanent disposal), (2) 
contaminated scrap metal and greater-than-class-C waste activities 
managed by the Department of Energy's Idaho Operations Office that 
could have an impact on permanent disposal in a repository, and (3) dry 
storage of spent nuclear fuel, including current research and 
development activities at INEL for government-owned and commercial 
spent nuclear fuel. Panel members have invited the Department of Energy 
and its INEL contractors and INEL researchers to discuss these issues. 
The panel will also hear about the status of efforts to get INEL high-
level defense wastes such as calcine and tank-stored liquids into 
appropriate forms for transportation to and disposal in a potential 
repository.
    On Wednesday, June 7, the penal will participate in a tour of the 
INEL facilities discussed in the previous day's meeting. The Board 
makes every effort to ensure that the general public has access to all 
of its activities. To that end, the public is invited to attend the 
tour with the panel. Space is limited, however, and will be filled on a 
first-come, first-served basis. The tour will begin at the Shilo Inn in 
Idaho Falls at approximately 8 a.m. and return to the hotel at 
approximately 6 p.m.
    All who wish to join the tour must provide the following 
information to Frank Randall, (703) 235-4473 or FAX (703) 235-4495.

1. Full name
2. Social security number
3. Date of birth
4. Daytime telephone number
5. Company or organization
6. Place of birth (city and state)
7. Country of citizenship (if non-U.S.)

    U.S. citizens must call or fax their data to Mr. Randall by May 19, 
1995. Non-U.S. citizens must call or fax their data to Mr. Randall by 
April 28, 1995. No one will be registered for the tour after the 
applicable cutoff date.
    The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board was created by Congress in 
the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987 to evaluate the 
technical and scientific validity of activities undertaken by the DOE 
in its program to manage the disposal of the nation's high-level 
radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. In that same legislation, 
Congress directed the DOE to characterize a site at Yucca Mountain, 
Nevada, for its suitability as a potential location for a permanent 
repository for the disposal of that waste.
    Transcripts of the meeting will be available on computer disk or on 
a library-loan basis in paper format from Victoria Reich, Board 
librarian, beginning July 24, 1995. For further information, contact 
Frank Randall, External Affairs, Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board, 
1100 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 910, Arlington, Virginia 22209; (703) 235-
4473.

    Dated: March 29, 1995.
William Barnard,
Executive Director, Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board.
