A critical element in solving our nation's nuclear waste
problem is that scientists must provide a reasonable expectation
that the repository will protect public health and safety
and the environment for many thousands of years.
Congress directed the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency to establish radiation
protection standards for a deep geologic repository and
assigned the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission the responsibility to
regulate the repository to assure compliance with health
and safety standards.
