Past Public Meetings

The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board's Panel on the Engineered Barrier System (EBS Panel) held a one-day meeting on March 10, 1994, on the status of current and future research planned by the Department of Energy (DOE) for the area of engineered barriers that could be used in a potential repository at Yucca Mountain

The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board planned a full agenda for its winter meeting on January 11-12, 1994, in Arlington, Virginia. Yucca Mountain performance assessment efforts, updates on the Department of Energy's (DOE) multipurpose container concept, top-level system studies, and two recent DOE task force studies filled the majority of the schedule.

On November 17-18, 1994, the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board's Panels on Structural Geology & Geoengineering and Hydrogeology & Geochemistry hosted a meeting on thermal management strategies for a potential repository at the Yucca Mountain site.

Ground-water travel time and its role in the long-term performance of the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain was the focus of the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board's Panel on Hydrogeology & Geochemistry meeting on Monday, September 12, and Tuesday, September 13, 1994, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At its summer meeting on July 13-14, 1993, in Denver, Colorado, the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board heard presentations on how science and engineering were being integrated in the Department of Energy's (DOE) plans to choose a thermal-loading strategy for the proposed spent fuel repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.

The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (the Board) held a workshop on the technical challenges associated with interim storage of spent nuclear fuel — storing the fuel from generation until final disposal. The workshop was held on November 1-2, 1993, by the Board's panels on the Engineered Barrier System and Transportation & Systems.

The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board's Panel on the Environment & Public Health planned a meeting for November 22, 1993, to review the status of the Department of Energy's environmental program at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.

The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (the Board) invited representatives from the Department of Energy (DOE), the national laboratories, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and from high-level radioactive waste management programs in Canada, Germany, and Sweden to its full Board meeting held on October 8 to 10, 1991, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The three-day meeting focused on the effects of alternative thermal loading on high-level waste repository design concepts.

The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board's (NWTRB) Panel on Transportation & Systems met on March 14-15, 1991, to explore and identify experience gained at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant's (WIPP) transportation program.

The Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (NWTRB) invited Dr. John W. Bartlett, Director of the DOE's Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM), and Mr. David H. Leroy, recently confirmed Nuclear Waste Negotiator, as well as representatives of industry, environmental organizations, public policy groups, and state interests to speak at the Board's meeting on January 16 and 17, 1991, on the disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW).
