OSTI ID:7066471

This report presents the findings and recommendations of an Academy panel formed to look into the major institutional issues associated with the commercial radioactive waste management program. The two major areas examined by the Panel were: (1) intergovernmental relationships, how federal, state, local and Indian tribal council governments relate to each other in the planning and implementation of a waste management program; and (2) interagency relationships, how the federal agencies with major responsibilities in this public policy arena interact with each other. The objective of the study was to apply the perspectives of public administration to a difficult and controversial question - how to devise and execute an effective waste management program workable within the constraints of the federal system.
