Greater-Than-Class C Low-Level Radioactive Waste (GTCC LLW)

• GTCC LLW Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
  On July 23, 2007, DOE published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS for the disposal of GTCC LLW. The NOI is the first of a series of steps to prepare the EIS, which will be a primary component in the determination of how and where to dispose of GTCC LLW. The NOI identifies the proposed disposal alternatives for analysis in the EIS, reports on the inventory of waste to be analyzed in the EIS, and invites public comments on the scope of the EIS.
