Technical Report · Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:6171535

This Draft Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) addresses the requirements of Section 2 of Executive Order 12291. It reviews the projected costs associated with management and disposal of high-level radioactive waste, and it evaluates the potential effects of our environmental standards for disposal of these wastes (40 CFR Part 191)--as proposed for public review and comment on December 29, 1982 (47 FR 58196). The proposed standards are presented in the Appendix of this report, and they are explained in detail in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared for this action (EPA 82).
