Technical Report · Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 EDT 1978

OSTI ID:6527802

President Carter has signaled his determination to develop a national nuclear waste management policy and program. Recognizing the numerous Federal agencies, as well as State and local interests, involved in such a program, the President established an Interagency Review Group (IRG) and charged it with developing a strategy for dealing with the waste management problem. In carrying out the Presidential mandate, the IRG has attempted, by a variety of means, to obtain a broad range of inputs and views from many sources, including Congress, State and local governments, Indian nations, industry, the scientific and technical community, public interest and environmental organizations, and the public. A draft report is presented which documents the tentative findings of the IRG, based on consideration of the possible strategies which have been identified for managing nuclear wastes. The report is issued for comment by members of the public. When these comments have been received, reviewed and incorporated, as appropriate, the report will be forwarded to the President for his consideration and guidance for further action.
