The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has renewed the charter for the Licensing Support Network Advisory Review Panel (LSNARP), which provides advice on managing documents related to a geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste. Initially established in 1989, the Panel helps oversee an electronic system for document storage and retrieval. The renewal is valid until December 30, 2022, and involves various stakeholders, including federal and state agencies, local governments, and industry groups. This action aligns with the Federal Advisory Committee Act and is in the public interest.
Simple Explanation
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed a plan to keep a big, organized electronic system running. This system helps store and keep track of important papers about where and how to safely bury very dangerous things called radioactive waste.
