Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/60706· OSTI ID:60706

The present report results from an analysis of the regulatory requirements in light of draft plans for site characterization and environmental compliance prepared by DOE and an evaluation of the past record of the Agency in matters of environmental protection. A perspective thereby was gained on how regulatory compliance is likely to be carried out by DOE for the Yucca Mountain project and the corresponding oversight role for the State of Nevada can provide oversight. 55 refs.
