THE DOE WILL HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMMERCIAL TRU WASTE ABOVE 100NC I/G, COMMERCIAL WASTE THAT EXCEEDS THE 10CFR61 CLASS C CLASSIFICATION, THREE-MILE ISLAND, UNIT 2 WASTE AND COMMERCIAL NUCLEAR WASTE. THE USE OF ENGINEERED FIBERGLASS CONTAINERS MAY PROVE TO BE TECHNICALLY SUPERIOR AND ECONOMICALLY JUSTIFIABLE FOR THESE APPLICATIONS.
