This document contains Department of Energy's proposal for the construction of a facility for monitored retrievable storage (MRS). This proposal suggests the construction of an MRS facility at a site on the Clinch River in the Roane County portion of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The facility will limit the storage capacity at the MRS site to 15,000 metric tons of uranium, and preclude waste acceptance by the MRS facility until a construction authorization for the first repository is received from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Included are details of the structural and operational components of the MRS. 6 figs.
