Nuclear Waste. Quarterly Report as of September 30, 1989

Abstract

During the July-September 1989 quarter, DOE was preparing to begin in November 1989 the construction of an exploratory shaft facility at the site for underground characterization tests and experiments. However, in November, DOE decided to delay the facility's construction until 1992. This quarterly report discusses (1) DOE's readiness to begin construction of the facility and (2) the impact of recent changes in DOE's schedule and approach for developing a repository.
