Department of Energy nuclear waste activities during the quarter ending June 30, 1987 include extension of the operational data planned for the first repository from January 1998 to 2003; a proposal to construct and operate a monitored retrievable storage facility in Roane County, Tennessee; and a decision to delay site-specific work for a second repository and begin in 1995 a national survey of potential second repository sites. The Nuclear Waste Fund collected over $170 million in fees and investment income during the quarter and obligated about $31 million for program activities. The fund balance as of June 1987 was about $1.5 billion. During this quarter, several legislative proposals were introduced in the Congress that would redirect or significantly change the nuclear waste management program.
