Low-Level Waste Disposal
Facility Federal Review Group (LFRG)
On December 19, 1996, the Deputy Assistant Secretaries for Waste Management and
Environmental Restoration in the Office of Environmental Management established
the Low-Level Waste Disposal Facility Federal Review Group (LFRG) to develop and
implement a review process for LLW disposal facility Performance Assessments and
Composite Analyses. The LFRG was chartered to provide Environmental Management the
information necessary to determine that LLW disposal facilities are designed, constructed,
operated, maintained, and closed in a manner that protects the public and environment.
The establishment of the LFRG is an important element of DOE's response to Defense
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board 94-2 and meeting the requirements of DOE Order 435.1,
Radioactive Waste Management.
