U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board Report to the U.S. Congress and the Secretary of Energy. January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2003

摘要

In 1987, the U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (Board) was created as an independent federal agency by Congress in the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act. The Board was charged with evaluating the technical and scientific validity of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) efforts to develop a system for disposing of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. The Board is required to report its findings and recommendations to Congress and the Secretary of Energy at least twice a year. This document describes activities undertaken by the Board from January 1 through December 31, 2003.
