Waste Confidence scoping summary report and upcoming teleconference information

Greetings,

Here are a few things we would like to share with you. These documents can also be accessed on our Waste Confidence website:  http://www.nrc.gov/waste/spent-fuel-storage/wcd/pub-involve.html#arch. 

Today we issued the Waste Confidence scoping summary report (ADAMS Accession No. ML13060A128):  http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1306/ML13060A128.pdf.

The report provides a summary of the determinations and conclusions reached during the NRC’s scoping process for the Waste Confidence generic environmental impact statement (GEIS).  The report also contains a summary of the comments received and the NRC’s responses.  A second document (ADAMS Accession No. ML13060A130) contains scoping comments organized by category:  http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1306/ML13060A130.pdf.

We have documented our last public meeting:

Also, we have announced our next monthly public teleconference status meeting.  The focus of this meeting will be the scoping summary report.  Participants will be provided an opportunity to ask clarifying questions on the scoping summary report.  Please note that discussion in this forum will not be considered as formal comments and will not be considered in the GEIS development.
