Subject: Foreign Spent Nuclear Fuel Program
 
I received the following message from Seth Kirshenberg (sethk@energyca.org) 
at
Energy Communities Alliance. --Aimee Houghton

This month, the National Safety Council's Environmental Health Center will
publish a guide to the U.S. foreign research reactor spent fuel program.
Under that program, spent nuclear fuel from foreign research reactors will
enter the United States at either Charleston Naval Weapons Station, in South
Carolina or the Concord Naval Weapons Station, in California. From there, the
spent fuel will be transported to a Department of Energy facility for
storage--either the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory 
or
the Savannah River Site.

In non-technical language, "A Guide to Foreign Research Reactor Spent fuel"
explains the program and its goals and describes how the spent fuel is to be
transported, handled, safeguarded, and stored when it arrives in the United 
States.

To receive a copy, contact Dawn Amore at the Environmental Health Center
<amored@nsc.org>. The supply is limited, so please submit your request no
later than Friday, June 12, 1998.
