The purpose of this paper is to provide a rationale for the proposition that the Department of Energy`s (DOE`s) submittal of a license application (LA) for the construction of a geologic repository to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) may be, and arguably must be, based on statutorily-limited site characterization data and design information. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA), as amended, is the controlling statute for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel in a licensed geologic repository. Applicable NRC regulations for the licensing of such a repository are found for the most part in 10 C.F.R. Part 60.
