Page 10 - Federal agencies. The NRC study has attempted to present a general comparison of the relative hazards associated with defense-generated and commercial wastes. Options for extending Commission authority were developed and analyzed. The, implications of NEPA were analyzed in the context of these options. The national security implications of extending NRC's regulatory authority over DOE programs are examined and evaluated. Costs and benefits are identified and assessed. The Commission's recommendations,...
Page 8 - How would NRC intend to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 under the various options?

In view of the potential inclusion of the storage and disposal steps under some form of regulatory program, it was felt that similar consideration should likewise be afforded to regulating the intervening processing step. 6. Was transportation of radioactive wastes analyzed in the study? Transportation of radioactive wastes was not analyzed in this study. The Department of Transportation (DOT) and NRC each have authority...
Page 2 - Costs are liable to be based on different assumptions, since DOE and NRC will view the same issue from different perspectives and the costs due to resource requirements, delays, national security impacts, etc., are perceived differently. Thus, there can be no clearly indicated and incontrovertible conclusions from such a study. The recommendations which are presented below largely represent a judgmental assessment of the information discussed in the study and are influenced by the NRC's experience...
