"(a) Preparation and Submission of Report. - The Secretary of

the Congress a report on whether current programs and plans for
management of nuclear waste as mandated by the Nuclear Waste Policy
Act of 1982 (42 U.S.C. 10101 et seq.) are adequate for management
of any additional volumes or categories of nuclear waste that might
be generated by any new nuclear power plants that might be
constructed and licensed after the date of the enactment of this
Act [Oct. 24, 1992]. The Secretary shall prepare the report for
submission to the President and the Congress within 1 year after
the date of the enactment of this Act. The report shall examine any
new relevant issues related to management of spent nuclear fuel and
high-level radioactive waste that might be raised by the addition
of new nuclear-generated electric capacity, including anticipated
increased volumes of spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive
waste, any need for additional interim storage capacity prior to
final disposal, transportation of additional volumes of waste, and
any need for additional repositories for deep geologic disposal.
"(b) Opportunity for Public Comment. - In preparation of the
report required under subsection (a), the Secretary of Energy shall
offer members of the public an opportunity to provide information
