NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL 

REVIEW BOARD 

Board Meeting 

Board meeting: September 24, 2008—

Las Vegas, Nevada; The U.S. Nuclear 

Waste Technical Review Board will 

meet to discuss Department of Energy 

plans for preclosure operations related 

to a proposed repository for spent 

nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive 

waste at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. 

Pursuant to its authority under 

section 5051 of Public Law 100–203, 

Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act 

of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear Waste 

Technical Review Board will meet in 

Las Vegas, Nevada, on Wednesday, 

September 24, 2008. At the meeting, the 

Board will review U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) activities related to 

designing and operating a waste 

management system in connection with 

the proposed repository for spent 

nuclear fuel and high level radioactive 

waste (HLW) at Yucca Mountain in 

Nevada. Among the issues that will be 

discussed are acceptance of spent 

nuclear fuel or HLW at commercial 

reactors or defense facilities; packaging 

of commercial spent nuclear fuel in 

transportation, aging, and disposal 

(TAD) canisters; transportation of the 

waste, including construction of a 

Nevada rail line; throughput of the 

waste at repository surface facilities; 

and plans for prototyping and testing of 

waste management equipment and 

facilities. The Board was charged in the 

Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act 

of 1987 with conducting an 

independent review of the technical and 

scientific validity of DOE activities 

related to the implementation of the 

Nuclear Waste Policy Act, including 

disposing of, packaging, and 

transporting spent nuclear fuel and 

HLW. 

The Board meeting will be held at the 

Suncoast Hotel & Casino, 9090 Alta 

Drive, Las Vegas (Summerlin), Nevada 

89145; (tel) 702–636–7111, (toll free)

Board Chairman B. John Garrick will 

call the meeting to order at 8 a.m. Dr. 

Garrick’s remarks will be followed by a 

DOE program overview and project 

status report. DOE then will make a 

presentation on issues related to waste 

acceptance, followed by a utility 

perspective on the same subject. After a 

break for lunch, the implications of TAD 

utilization for transportation and 

repository site operations will be 

discussed. A presentation on integrated 

systems’ operations will follow. The last 

presentation of the day will be on DOE’s 

prototyping and testing program for 

waste management equipment and 

facilities. 

Time will be set aside at the end of 

the day for public comments. Those
