Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5678595

In March 1984 the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources requested that GAO report quarterly on the status of the Department of Energy's progress in implementing the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. This second quarterly report covers program activities from October through December 1984. In particular, it discusses delays in meeting key requirements of the act and highlights several management initiatives taken by the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, the office responsible for implementing the act. The report also discusses the status of the Nuclear Waste Fund, the separate fund tht receives fees from the owners of operating nucler power plants and other waste-producing facilities and finances the development and construction of the nation's first geologic repository for commercial nuclear waste. During the quarter, the fund had revenues sufficient to cover all financial obligations. 3 figs.
