In response to Section 141 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the Department of Energy hereby submits a proposal for the construction of a facility for monitored retrievable storage (MRS). The approval of this proposal by the Congress would specifically--
• Approve the construction of an MRS facility at a site on the Clinch River in the Roane County portion of Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
• Limit the storage capacity at the MRS site to 15,000 metric tons of uranium.
• Preclude waste acceptance by the MRS facility until a construction authorization for the first repository is received from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
• Direct the Department of Energy to implement measures responsive to the concerns and recommendations of the State of Tennessee and local governments, as specifically outlined in Section 4 of this proposal.
• Direct the Department of Energy to implement the program plan sub-mitted in this proposal (Volume 3).
The actions recommended herein are consistent with, and meet the require-ments of, the Nuclear Waste Policy Act.
