This hearing examined the US DOE's proposal to build a monitored retrievable storage (MRS) facility in the State of Tennessee at the site of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor. The DOE favors building an MRS primarily as a waste packaging facility. Storage would be limited and waste would be maintained at the MRS for a brief period en route to a repository. The General Accounting Office has recommended that Congress seek more information before building. The text of two House bills is presented. H.R. 2888 would suspend certain activities of the DOE under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 and establish a Nuclear Waste Policy Commission. H.R. 2967 would establish a Nuclear Waste Policy Review Commission and an Office of the Nuclear Waste Negotiator. Testimony was heard from 14 witnesses, representatives of the American Nuclear Energy Council, the General Accounting Office, State of Tennessee, Wisconsin Radioactive Waste Review Board, Department of Energy, MRS Study Committee, Texas Nuclear Waste Programs Office, and the Nuclear Regulator Commission.
