Sec. 1.18  Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste.

    The Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste (ACNW) provides advice to 
the Commission on all aspects of nuclear waste management, as 
appropriate, within the purview of NRC's regulatory responsibilities. 
The primary emphasis of the ACNW is disposal but will also include other 
aspects of nuclear waste management such as handling, processing, 
transportation, storage, and safeguarding of nuclear wastes including 
spent fuel, nuclear wastes mixed with other hazardous substances, and 
uranium mill tailings. In performing its work, the committee examines 
and reports on specific areas of concern referred to it by the 
Commission or designated representatives of the Commission, and 
undertakes studies and activities on its own initiative as appropriate 
to carry out its responsibilities. The committee interacts with 
representatives of NRC, other Federal agencies, state and local 
governments, Indian Tribes, and private organizations, as appropriate, 
to fulfill its responsibilities.
