No.

I wasn t responsible for forecasts of

waste generation.

I can speculate that what they

saying in this last sentence is that by the year 2020

there will be available -- the amount of fuel existing at the reactors in the year 2020 is smaller than the

amount of fuel that was discharged by the year

2015.

What that has to do wi th

anything, I have no

clue.

Does this paragraph indicate that the

acceptance rate would be larger than the discharge

rate?
The acceptance rate should be larger than

the discharge rate under the plans

then.

Under the plans laid out under the draft
mission plan amendment?

Right.
Can I turn your attention to page 56.

that answer?

then.

Do you recall

Yes.

Why did you gl ve

that answer?

Because the acceptance rate would ramp up

in excess of

2, 000 tons per year

which was the

discharge rate.
Would ramp up to eventually what?
Higher than 2 , 000.

So more fuel would be accepted than was

being discharged, correct? Correct.
I ask you to look at the fourth column on

page 56.

Do you see that?

Yes.
And the take rate for years starting in
2008 is set at

2650.

Do you see that?

Per year until

Then let' s return to Exhibit

In light of the sworn testimony you have

an MRS facility when all the governing plans at that

point in time did not envision the use of any such
facili ty?

MR. CRAWFORD:
I don t know.

Can you give any reason sitting here today

No.
Did you in your capacity as director or

deputy director of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management sign off on the acceptance rates

reflected in Exhibit 39, specifically reflected in

Table 1,

page four of Exhibit 39?
I don t recall doing

so.

Do you think you would have?
I don t think

so.

I normally didn t sign

these lower priority documents like

this.

Did anyone in the Office of Civilian

Radioacti ve Waste Management who might have worked on
Exhibi t 39 consult with you personally concerning the

acceptance rates reflected on page four of Exhibit 39?
I don t recall ever discussing

it.

If not, if you never discussed it, sir, who
would have been the most senior official wi thin your

No.
My question is with respect to this

statement:

When the nuclear waste policy was enacted

policy act was enacted, it was envisioned that the
department would have a repository available for

permanent waste disposal in 1998, and the department
entered into contracts with the utility to begin
accepting waste in 1998 on that basis.
Is that

statement consistent with your understanding?

Yes.
MS. HERRMANN:

Obj ection.

Foundation,

calls for a legal conclusion.

Yes.
On page three could you please turn to the
first paragraph on the top of the page.
Do you see

that?
Yes.
Why would continued on- site storage of
spent fuel threaten the orderly operation of the

nation

s civilian nuclear reactors?

to the fact that we didn t pick the fuel up, through
storage or whatever, while they were

operating
shut down ones -- were still paying

utili ties, not

money into the waste

fund.

The ones who were

operating claimed they were paying twice; once to pay

the waste fund and once to do with

storage.

So we

were trying to figure a way to cover some of the
storage costs that would alleviate the utili ties to

have to,

quote, pay twice.
Under the statute the utilities were

supposed to pay into the waste fund, and at that point
it became the obligation of the Department of Energy
to store and dispose of the spent fuel , correct?
MS. HERRMANN:

Obj ection.

Calls for a

legal conclusion.

Correct?
MS. HERRMANN:

Same obj ection.

Repeat the question again.
The problem of the utili ties having to pay

twice for storage arose because under the Nuclear

Waste Policy Act it was the intention of Congress that
the utili ties pay once into the nuclear waste

fund,

I don

t recall.

I have lots of

meetings with Yankee -- there were quite a few

people included with the Yankees, and I don

remember.
Do you recall telling anyone at Yankee

Atomic, you know, shortly, sometime not long after
this denial letter, that you were receptive to
suggestions on a process for allocation of

priority under the contract which DOE could

That'

s what you thought, you

know, in your working life at RW?

Yes. Okay.

But because of these other

factors we have discussed previously, either the
time wasn t right or whatever to actually grant

the priority at that time?
MS. HERRMANN:

Obj ection as to the

characterization.
Even though you were sympathetic to
their predicament?

I was sympathetic to their predicament.

Sympathy did not drive the decision to grant

it.

Because of the other factors that we

discussed previously, is that what led you to deny

it?
Correct.
Okay.
