          O7 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BILL 286,
                THE SPENT FUEL ACT OF 19799

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We welcome the opportunity to be here today to discuss

spent-fuel management issues that are addressed in or raised

by House Bill 2586, the administration-sponsored Spent Fuel

Act of 1979. The bill would give the Department of Energy

the necessary legal authority to implement the administra-

tion's policy of accepting and taking title to spent fuel

from both domestic utilities and foreign sources, and ac-

quiring facilities for the interim storage of this spent

fuel pending final decisions in the areas of reprocessing

and waste disposal.

     Mr. Chairman, we are releasing a report l/ today, pre-

pared at your request, on the administration's spent-fuel

policy. The bottom line of our report is that the admin-

istration should not provide interim spent-fuel storage.   /
