It was developed using the draft Volume Ⅲ of the staffs Safety Evaluation Report on the application," according to an NRC release. "The TER was prepared as part of the agency's knowledge management activities during the closeout of the Yucca Mountain licensing review. The closeout, including publication of two additional TERs, is expected to be complete by Sept. 30."
