handle is hein.gao/gaobabali0001 and id is 1 raw text is: RESTRICTED - Not to be released outside the General II 2. BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL RELEASED Report To The Subcommittee On Energy And Power, House Committee On Interstate And Foreign Commerce OF THE UN TED STATES Existing Nuclear Sites Can Be Used For New Powerplants And Nuclear Waste Storage Locating future nuclear powerplants at existing sites offers important advantages which warrant consid- eration by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. --The number of locations committed to long-term restricted use and periodic sur- veillance and maintenance could be limited. --The burden of long-term care and final dis- position of retired nuclear powerplants could be eased. --Overall environmental impacts from the construction and operation of the power- plants could be reduced. --Time and money in completing licensing proceedings could be saved. GAO also found that low-level wastes can be stored at nuclear powerplant sites, but such storage only postpones the inevitable need for disposal. Finally, permanent waste disposal at powerplant sites should only be permitted when sites conform to the national low-level waste disposal plan being prepared by the Department of Energy. GAO makes a number of recommendations to the Commission on these matters. ID ST 112051 EMD-80-67 APRIL 1, 1980
