THE HEALTH PHYSICS SOCIETY

The HPS has two comments. Comment 1: The HPS supports the scope of the subject EIS as described in the Notice of Intent for GTCC and Department of Energy “GTCC-like” waste with the caveat that there be clear stakeholder involvement in the decision-making process that would allow disposal of waste streams not originally destined for the Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP). Comment 2: The HPS requests that the DOE take the actions necessary to allow it to expand the scope of the EIS to also include non-GTCC Class B and Class C radioactive waste, which may not have an identified path to disposal, at each of the alternative sites evaluated in the scope of the subject EIS. These two comments are discussed below.
