DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Request for Comment: Publication of
the Draft Plan for a Defense Waste
Repository

Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of availability and
request for comment.
AGENCY:
Consistent with the
determination by the President in March
2015 and pursuant to its authorities
under the Atomic Energy Act, the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) is
proceeding to evaluate the development
of a repository for disposal of high-level
radioactive waste (HLW) resulting from
DOE’s atomic energy defense activities.
This defense waste repository (DWR)

could be used to dispose of some or all
of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and
HLW resulting from DOE’s atomic
energy defense activities and/or
research and development activities.
The DOE intends to use a consent-based
process for siting the DWR, and is
beginning that process by sharing the
Draft Plan for a DWR for public
comment.
DATES: The comment period will end
March 20, 2017. Comments received
after this date will be considered to the
extent practicable.
ADDRESSES: The Draft Plan is available
at energy.gov/DWR. Interested persons
may submit comments by any of the
following methods.
Email: Comments may be submitted
by email to DWR@hq.doe.gov. Please
include ‘‘Response to DWR RFC’’ in
subject line.
Mail: Comments may be provided by

Fax: Responses may be faxed to 202–

should be mailed to Ms. Evangeline
Chase at the Department of Energy,
Office of Spent Fuel and Waste
Disposition (NE–8), Office of Nuclear
Energy, 1000 Independence Ave. SW.,
Washington, DC 20585.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Nuclear material is used to power
naval vessels and was used to build the
U.S. nuclear weapon stockpile during
the Cold War. These activities have
generated spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and
high-level radioactive waste (HLW) that
are currently stored at multiple DOE
sites.
The United States no longer generates
defense HLW from reprocessing of SNF
associated with weapons production.
The finite volume and lower heat output
of the defense HLW compared to
commercial SNF simplify the planning
required to site and construct a DWR, in
contrast to that for a common repository
for both defense and commercial
nuclear waste under the Nuclear Waste
Policy Act (NWPA).
The United States does not have an
operating permanent disposal site for
SNF and HLW. Isolating this material
from the biosphere is necessary to
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

ensure the long-term safety and security
of the public and environment. DOE is
responsible for removing defense HLW
and SNF that is currently stored at
several DOE sites. These environmental
clean-up activities require a permanent
disposal site for the defense waste.
In March 2015, the President issued a
Presidential Memorandum in which he
found that ‘‘the development of a
repository for the disposal of high-level
radioactive waste resulting from atomic
energy defense activities only is
required.’’ This finding permits the
Department to develop a separate DWR
in accordance with its authority under
the Atomic Energy Act. A DWR could be
used to dispose of some or all of the
SNF and HLW resulting from DOE’s
atomic energy defense activities and/or
research and development activities.
The Department has begun early
planning to identify various activities
that need to be performed to evaluate
and design a DWR. Although these
plans are preliminary, they begin to
describe the different components—
including technical, regulatory, risk
management, cost and schedule
considerations—that need to come
together to build a viable program, all
within the framework of a consentbased siting process. A DWR could be
sited, licensed, and built sooner than a
common repository. This could
potentially reduce ongoing storage,
treatment, and management costs for
defense waste currently stored at DOE
facilities. Successful development of a
DWR could play an important role in a
broader nuclear waste strategy by
providing important experience in the
design, siting, licensing, and
development of the facility that could be
applied to the development of a future
repository for commercial spent fuel.
It is now appropriate to share the
Draft Plan and ask the public for its
review and feedback. Ultimately, the
final Plan would provide meaningful
information to any community
interested in learning more about what
it would take to host such a facility.
Purpose
In this notice, DOE announces the
availability of the Draft Plan for a
Defense Waste Repository to inform the
public and request feedback on the plan.
The Draft Plan is available at the
following Web site—energy.gov/DWR.
Next Steps
Comments received in response to
this Request for Comments will be used
to revise the Draft Plan and inform next
steps.
