survey and evaluation, the Secretary shall con-
sider the extent to which siting a monitored re-
trievable storage facility at each site surveyed
would—
(1) enhance the reliability and flexibility of
the system for the disposal of spent nuclear
fuel and high-level radioactive waste estab-
lished under this chapter;
(2) minimize the impacts of transportation
and handling of such fuel and waste;
(3) provide for public confidence in the abil-
ity of such system to safely dispose of the fuel
and waste;
(4) impose minimal adverse effects on the
local community and the local environment;

environmental,
health, and safety requirements in a timely
fashion;
(6) provide such other benefits to the system
for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-
level radioactive waste as the Secretary deems
appropriate; and
(7) unduly burden a State in which signifi-
cant volumes of high-level radioactive waste
resulting from atomic energy defense activi-
ties are stored.

The Secretary may conduct such site specific

essary to support an application to the Commis-

trievable storage facility at such site.

cordance with regulations issued by the Sec-
retary implementing such Act [42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.]. Such environmental assessment shall be
based upon available information regarding al-
ternative technologies for the storage of spent
nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.
The Secretary shall submit such environmental
assessment to the Congress at the time such site
is selected.
(e) Notification before selection
(1) At least 6 months before selecting a site
under subsection (a), the Secretary shall notify
the Governor and legislature of the State in
which such site is located, or the governing body
of the affected Indian tribe where such site is lo-
cated, as the case may be, of such potential se-
lection and the basis for such selection.
(2) Before selecting any site under subsection
(a), the Secretary shall hold at least one public
hearing in the vicinity of such site to solicit any
recommendations of interested parties with re-
spect to issues raised by the selection of such
site.
(f) Notification of selection
The Secretary shall promptly notify Congress
and the appropriate State or Indian tribe of the
selection under subsection (a).
(g) Limitation
No monitored retrievable storage facility au-
thorized pursuant to section 10162(b) of this title
may be constructed in the State of Nevada.

growth, high-density urbanization, industrial
expansion, resource exploitation, and new and
expanding technological advances and recog-
nizing further the critical importance of restor-
ing and maintaining environmental quality to
the overall welfare and development of man, de-
