U.S.C. Title 42 - THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE 42 U.S.C. United States Code, 2023 Edition Title 42 - THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE CHAPTER 108 - NUCLEAR WASTE POLICY SUBCHAPTER I - DISPOSAL AND STORAGE OF HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE, SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL, AND LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE Part C - Monitored Retrievable Storage Sec. 10164 - Survey From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov

§10164. Survey

After the MRS Commission submits its report to the Congress under section 10163 of this title, the Secretary may conduct a survey and evaluation of potentially suitable sites for a monitored retrievable storage facility. In conducting such survey and evaluation, the Secretary shall consider the extent to which siting a monitored retrievable storage facility at each site surveyed would— (1) enhance the reliability and flexibility of the system for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste established under this chapter; (2) minimize the impacts of transportation and handling of such fuel and waste; (3) provide for public confidence in the ability of such system to safely dispose of the fuel and waste; (4) impose minimal adverse effects on the local community and the local environment; (5) provide a high probability that the facility will meet applicable environmental, health, and safety requirements in a timely fashion; (6) provide such other benefits to the system for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste as the Secretary deems appropriate; and (7) unduly burden a State in which significant volumes of high-level radioactive waste resulting from atomic energy defense activities are stored.
