The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, charged the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) with the responsibility to site, license, develop, operate, and close a geologic repository. Part of this involves formal licensing interactions with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the focus of which is the resolution of licensing issues. This paper discusses the process the DOE plans to implement over the next several years to reach resolution on these licensing issues with the NRC staff in order to expedite the licensing process. While several vehicles exist for resolution of issues, this paper focuses on the use of topical reports submitted by the DOE to the NRC staff and also on the use of rulemaking for selected issues. This process is a refinement and further expansion of the process described in the Site Characterization Plan (SCP){sup 2} for the Yucca Mountain site in southern Nevada.
