NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL REVIEW BOARD
Board Meeting
The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board will hold a virtual
public meeting on March 1-2, 2022.
Board meeting: March 1-2, 2022--The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical
Review Board will hold a virtual public meeting to review information
on the U.S. Department of Energy's activities related to spent nuclear
fuel and high-level radioactive waste.
Pursuant to its authority under section 5051 of Public Law 100-203,
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act (NWPAA) of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear
Waste Technical Review Board will hold a virtual public meeting on
Tuesday, March 1, 2022, and Wednesday, March 2, 2022, to review
information on the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) activities related
to spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW).
The meeting will begin on both days at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard
Time (EST) and is scheduled to adjourn at 5:00 p.m. EST. On the first
day, the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) will provide an update
on DOE's dual-purpose canister (DPC) disposal R&D. Speakers
representing the national laboratories conducting the DPC work for DOE
will report on a repository-scale performance assessment incorporating
post-closure criticality and cladding degradation modeling development.
A DOE-NE representative will provide a summary and status of storage
and transportation R&D and a speaker from the national laboratories
will describe investigations into SNF storage canister surface
environments and the potential for corrosion.
On the second day, an experiment simulating aerosol transmission
through a crack in an SNF canister wall will be described by a speaker
from the national
[[Page 2643]]
laboratories. From the integrated waste management system R&D program,
speakers from the national laboratories will describe the Hanford Lead
Canister project and updated waste management system analysis tool
requirements and enhancements. A speaker from DOE-NE will present the
current functions and capabilities of DOE's Stakeholder Tool for
Assessing Radioactive Transportation (START). The final speaker, from
DOE-NE, will provide an update on consent-based siting. A detailed
meeting agenda will be available on the Board's website at
<a href="http://www.nwtrb.gov">www.nwtrb.gov</a> approximately one week before the meeting.
The meeting will be open to the public, and opportunities for
public comment will be provided at the end of each day of the meeting.

presentation of individual remarks. However, written comments of any
length may be submitted to the Board staff by mail or electronic mail.
All comments received in writing will be included in the meeting
record, which will be posted on the Board's website after the meeting.
An archived recording of the meeting will be available on the Board's
website following the meeting. The transcript of the meeting will be
available on the Board's website by May 3, 2022.
The Board was established in the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments
Act of 1987 as an independent federal agency in the Executive Branch to
evaluate the technical and scientific validity of DOE activities
related to the management and disposal of SNF and HLW, and to provide
objective expert advice to Congress and the Secretary of Energy on
these issues. Board members are experts in their fields and are
appointed to the Board by the President from a list of candidates
submitted by the National Academy of Sciences. The Board reports its
findings, conclusions, and recommendations to Congress and the
Secretary of Energy. All Board reports, correspondence, congressional
testimony, and meeting transcripts and related materials are posted on
the Board's website.
