This paper will examine the U.S. Department of Energy`s Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management`s (DOE/OCRWM) continued efforts to improve relations and facilitate communications with officials from Nye County, Nevada, the site of the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository. The Protocol on On-Site Representation establishes certain procedures for interactions between Nye County and DOE/OCRWM specific to the host county. These include on-site representation, the County`s ability to conduct independent testing and oversight and the timely exchange of information related to site characterization.
