Title: Land use and withdrawal actions necessary for and in support of the NNWSI project
Abstract: The history, status, and plans for land use and withdrawals of Yucca Mountain for the purpose of site characterization, the construction of the Exploratory Shaft (ES), and a high-level nuclear waste repository should the NNWSI Project be selected for one or both projects are discussed. Actions for protecting and acquiring land have been formulated to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 60.121, which states that The geologic repository operations area shall be located in or on lands that are either acquired lands under the jurisdiction and control of DOE or lands permanently withdrawn and reserved for its use. In 1981, when it was perceived that the first repository site would be selected in 1985, the initial plan for acquisition was developed. Because of the schedule slippage that has occurred since the passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA), that plan is being restructured, but an alternative plan has not been established. 5 figures.
