Pursuant to its authority under section 5051 of Public Law 100-203,

The Board meeting will be held at The Florida Hotel and Conference

The meeting will begin at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and
is scheduled to adjourn at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Speakers from the DOE Office
of Nuclear Energy will describe recent accomplishments and future
priorities in DOE's integrated waste management program and its
strategy for management and disposal of SNF, including use of a
consent-based siting process. DOE speakers will address nuclear power
plant infrastructure evaluations for removing commercial SNF, site-
specific logistic reports, and Atlas and Fortis railcar developments.
There will be a panel discussion providing tribal perspectives on
transportation and consent-based siting. A national laboratory speaker
will address analysis of as-loaded conditions of storage containers of
commercial SNF. A speaker from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
will present information on regulatory readiness for oversight of
large-scale commercial transportation of SNF. A detailed meeting agenda
will be available on the Board's website at <a href="http://www.nwtrb.gov">www.nwtrb.gov</a> approximately

The meeting will be open to the public and there will be an
opportunity for public comment at the end of each day. Those attending
the meeting in person and wanting to provide oral comments are

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.
