 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

      We appreciate the opportunity to be here today to dis-

 cuss our review of certain nuclear issues at the Western New

 York Nuclear Service Center located at West Valley, New York JC )C)

 We conducted our review at your request and reported to you

 on June 6, 1980. 1/

      The nuclear issues at West Valley result from the

 plant's 6 years of reprocessing operations. During these

 years, Nuclear Fuel Services, Incorporated (NFS), under con-

 tract with the State of New York, reprocessed about 640

 metric tons of nuclear spent fuel, generating about 600,000

 gallons of high-level liquid nuclear waste. This liquid nu-

 clear waste, along with spent fuel, and solid low-level nu-

 clear waste stored in a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

 licensed burial area and a separate State licensed burial area



 i/Status of Efforts to Clean Up the Shut-Down Western New
   York Nuclear Service Center, (EMD-80-69, June 6, 1980).
