WT5 Supplemental Initial Report Public Comments Overview -- Many comments received and high level of interest and responses from the community. 3. Approach for Reviewing Public Comments -- Need to review the comments with the focus on whether they fall into the following classifications: agreement, new idea, concerns, divergence.
