People interested in environmental management activities at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) should know it is recruiting members.

The Community Advisory Board (CAB) is a federally chartered U.S. Department of Energy advisory board made up of volunteers from urban and rural communities in Southern Nevada.

CAB members meet bi-monthly to study and discuss environmental activities taking place at the Nevada Test Site and provide recommendations to the DOE Nevada Site Office Environmental Management Program.

The CAB is chartered to review and provide feedback on radioactive waste management, disposal and transportation activities; the effects of historic nuclear testing on the groundwater at the NTS and other environmental remediation activities.

However, the board does not address issues relating to the DOE Yucca Mountain Project.

No related training or experience is required.
