SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Overall Review Strategy gives general

license application and pre-license application reviews. These reviews 
are in support of the Commission's construction authorization decision 
for a geologic repository for the disposal of high-level radioactive 
waste. Objectives and strategies are defined that focus the staff's 
reviews on determining compliance with requirements of 10 CFR Part 60. 
These strategies define how the staff prioritizes its reviews on those 
key technical uncertainties considered to be most important to 
repository performance. Strategies also give guidance for developing, 
in an integrated way, the License Application Review Plan together with 
supporting performance assessments, analyses, and research.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day of December 1994.
