Two Independent Assessments Find Yucca Mt. Project on Track

摘要

Two independent assessments addressing areas critical to the overall success of the Yucca Mountain repository program have been released by the Department of Energy (DOE). These assessments, which include an independent review of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) Quality Assurance (QA) Program and an independent review of its engineering processes and procedures, have concluded that the Yucca Mountain Project's current QA and engineering processes and procedures are consistent with standard nuclear industry practices.
