OSTI ID:6181001

This supplement to the final version of Managing Low-Level Radioactive Wastes: A Proposed Approach (DOE/LLW-9) reprints the public comments received on the draft issued in August 1980. More than 600 separate comments were received from some 70 groups and individuals during a 10-month review period. These comments, and responses to them, appear on the following pages. It was not necessary or possible to respond to every comment. The comments, organized by topic area, were reviewed by National Low-Level Waste Management Program staff and the Strategy Task Force at its final meeting in September 1981. Many changes in the draft document were made in response to public comment; these changes are noted in responses to the relevant comments. It was decided to print the final policy document without expressly noting the changes that were made. This supplement should assist in further explaining the low-level waste policy issues that appear in the final document.
