Nuclear waste: Quarterly report on DOE's nuclear waste program as of June 30, 1987
Description
Department of Energy nuclear waste activities during the quarter ending June 30, 1987 include extension of the operational data planned for the first repository from January 1998 to 2003; a proposal to construct and operate a monitored retrievable storage facility in Roane County, Tennessee; and a decision to delay site-specific work for a second repository and begin in 1995 a national survey of potential second repository sites. The Nuclear Waste Fund collected over $170 million in fees and investment income during the quarter and obligated about $31 million for program activities. The fund balance as of June 1987 was about $1.5 billion. During this quarter, several legislative proposals were introduced in the Congress that would redirect or significantly change the nuclear waste management program
