Nuclear power reactors generate highly radioactive waste. To permanently store this waste, the Dept. of Energy (DoE) has been working to submit a license appl’n. to the Nuclear Reg’y. Comm. (NRC) for a nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, about 100 miles from Las Vegas, NV. A high-quality appl’n. needs to be complete, technically adequate, transparent by clearly justifying underlying assumptions, & traceable back to original source materials. This report examines: DoE’s develop. of its schedule for submitting a license appl’n. & the stakeholders with whom it consulted; NRC’s assessment of DoE’s readiness to submit a high-quality appl’n.; & DoE’s progress in addressing quality assurance recommend. identified in a March 2006 report.
