NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Notice of Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation Public Workshop

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will conduct a public workshop on 
May 17, 1996, to discuss the NRC's Spent Fuel Storage and 
Transportation Program. This program focuses the agency's efforts on 
the important issues associated with interim storage and transportation 
of spent fuel from the nation's nuclear power generators. The purpose 
of the workshop is to provide applicants, licensees, and other 
interested parties with an understanding of staff initiatives and to 
provide an opportunity for interested parties to obtain both NRC and 
licensee perspectives on issues associated with spent fuel management.
    The workshop will focus on participant experience gained through 
the licensing and inspection programs for dry cask storage. The NRC 
staff will discuss current and planned staff initiatives, including the 
development of staff guidance for both the licensing and inspection 
programs. The staff will also be interested in obtaining feedback on 
its ``Draft Standard Review Plan For Independent Spent Fuel Storage 
Casks.'' A tentative agenda is provided below in the Supplementary 
Information section.

TIME AND LOCATION: The workshop will be held on May 17, 1996, from 8:30 
am to 4:30 pm, at the NRC Auditorium. The NRC Auditorium is located in 
the Two White Flint North Building at 11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 
MD. The White Flint Metro Station is located at the intersection of 
Marinelli Drive and Rockville Pike. The NRC complex is directly across 
Marinelli Drive from the Metro Station.
