CAB Committees & Work Plans

The Community Advisory Board for Nevada Test Site Programs (NTS CAB) has developed a number of internal committees.  These committees conduct meetings regarding specific matters relating to both administrative and technical issues and are responsible for generating recommendations and presenting their findings to the entire Board.  Other than the Administrative Committee, the balance of committees listed are activated as pertinent issues arise requiring the attention of a specific committee. Therefore, not all committees will be currently active. 

Listed below are all of the committees, their basic functions, and their work plans:
