We, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are proposing public health and safety standards for radioactive material stored or disposed of in the potential repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Section 801 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EnPA) directed the Administrator of EPA to develop these standards. The EnPA also required EPA to contract with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to conduct a study to provide findings and recommendations on reasonable standards for protection of the public health and safety. On August 1, 1995, NAS released its report (the NAS Report) entitled, ``Technical Bases for Yucca Mountain Standards.'' We have taken the NAS Report into consideration as directed by the EnPA. After we finalize these standards, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or ``the Commission'') will incorporate them into its licensing regulations. The Department of Energy (DOE or ``the Department'') will be responsible for demonstrating compliance with these standards. The Commission will use its licensing regulations to determine whether the Department has demonstrated compliance with our standards prior to receiving the necessary licenses to store or dispose of radioactive material in Yucca Mountain.
