Tropicana Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada.
The entire meeting will be open to public attendance, with the

During this meeting the Committee plans to consider the

high-level waste (HLW) research topics for further review by the

G. Committee Activities/Future Agenda--Discuss topics proposed
for consideration by the full Committee and working groups. Discuss
organizational and personnel matters related to ACNW members and

attendance to discuss information the release of which would
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6).
H. Miscellaneous--Discuss miscellaneous matters related to the
conduct of Committee activities and organizational activities and
complete discussion of matters and specific issues that were not
