>It is only provided in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.

>On page 26 of the FCtS report is Exhibit 7: 109 Sites Are
>Expected to Require Long-Term Stewardship by DOE.  This exhibit
>involves a United States map showing the location of the sites.
>
>The phrase "in perpetuity" is frequently used to describe the
>period of time many of the sites will need to be monitored by
>the DOE, or by following institutions.  In the case of sites
>contaminated by plutonium-239 containing materials, this span
>of time could last for at least a quarter million years.

>The second edition of Accelerating Cleanup: Paths to Closure
>was expected to be released by the summer of 1999.  Instead
>FCtS was released in October.  Reviewers should compare the
>site specific descriptions over the last decade to see what
>progress was made during that span of time.  Most of these
>sites were described in at least five previous rounds of DOE
>Environmental Management reports during the last decade.
>Also, compare  the level of detail provided in Appendix E
>with what is observed during actual site visits.
