NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2009–0187] 

Notice of Availability of Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the AREVA Enrichment Services LLC 

Proposed Eagle Rock Enrichment 

Facility in Bonneville County, ID 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Final 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) has published the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the AREVA Enrichment 

Services LLC (AES) Proposed Eagle 

Rock Enrichment Facility (EREF). On 

December 30, 2008, AES submitted a 

license application to the NRC that 

proposes the construction, operation, 

and decommissioning of a gas 

centrifuge-based uranium enrichment 

facility on a presently undeveloped site 

near Idaho Falls in Bonneville County, 

Idaho (the ‘‘proposed action’’). This 

application is for a license to possess 

and use byproduct material, source 

material, and special nuclear material at 

the proposed uranium enrichment 

facility. The application included an 

Environmental Report (ER) regarding 

the proposed action. 

AES subsequently submitted revisions 

to the license application on April 23, 

2009 (Revision 1), and April 30, 2010 

(Revision 2), which included ER 

Revision 1 and ER Revision 2, 

respectively. License application 

Revision 1 addresses the expansion of 

the proposed EREF to increase its 

production capacity from 3.3 million 

Separative Work Units (SWUs) per year 

to 6.6 million SWUs per year; and ER 

Revision 1 includes information on the 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

6.6-million-SWU-per-year EREF. 

Revision 2 to the license application 

and the ER incorporates into Revision 1 

additional information that AES 

previously provided the NRC in 

response to NRC staff requests for 

additional information for its safety and 

environmental reviews, as well as 

supplemental information on a 

proposed electrical transmission line 

required to power the proposed EREF. 

On June 17, 2009, AES submitted a 

request for an exemption from certain 

NRC regulations so that it could 

commence certain preconstruction 

activities (e.g., site preparation) on the 

proposed EREF site prior to the NRC’s 

decision on whether to grant or deny a 

license. On March 17, 2010, the NRC 

granted an exemption authorizing AES 

to conduct the requested 

preconstruction activities. 

The Final EIS is being issued as part 

of the NRC’s process to decide whether 

to issue a license to AES, pursuant to 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) parts 30, 40, and 

70, to construct and operate the 

proposed uranium enrichment facility. 

Specifically, AES proposes to use gas 

centrifuge technology to enrich the 

uranium-235 isotope found in natural 

uranium to concentrations up to 5 

percent by weight. The enriched 

uranium would be used to manufacture 

nuclear fuel for commercial nuclear 

power reactors. In the Final EIS, the 

NRC staff assessed the potential 

environmental impacts from the 

preconstruction, construction, 

operation, and decommissioning of the 

proposed EREF project. 

The Final EIS was prepared in 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (NEPA), and the NRC’s 

regulations for implementing NEPA in 

10 CFR part 51. The NRC staff assessed 

the impacts of the proposed action on 

land use, historic and cultural 

resources, visual and scenic resources, 

air quality, geology and soils, water 

resources, ecological resources, noise, 

transportation, public and occupational 

health, waste management, 

socioeconomics, and environmental 

justice. Additionally, the NRC staff 

analyzed and compared the benefits and 

costs of the proposed action. In 

preparing this Final EIS, the NRC staff 

also reviewed, considered, evaluated, 

and addressed the public comments 

received on the Draft EIS. 

In addition to the proposed action, the 

NRC staff considered the no-action 

alternative and other alternatives. Under 

the no-action alternative, the NRC 

would deny AES’s request to construct 

and operate a uranium enrichment 

facility at the EREF site. The no-action 

alternative serves as a baseline for 

comparison of the potential 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action. Other alternatives the NRC staff 

considered but eliminated from further 

analysis include: (1) Alternative sites for 

the EREF; (2) alternative sources of 

enriched uranium; and (3) alternative 

technologies for uranium enrichment. 

These alternatives were eliminated from 

further analysis due to economic, 

environmental, national security, 

technological maturity, or other reasons. 

The Final EIS also discusses alternatives 

for the disposition of depleted uranium 

hexafluoride (UF6) resulting from 

enrichment operations over the lifetime 

of the proposed EREF.

1Notice of the United States Postal Service of 

Classification Change Related to Reply Rides Free 

Program, February 8, 2011 (Notice). 

After weighing the impacts, costs, and 

benefits of the proposed action and 

comparing alternatives, the NRC staff, in 

accordance with 10 CFR 51.91(d), sets 

forth its recommendation regarding the 

proposed action. The NRC staff 

recommends that, unless safety issues 

mandate otherwise, the proposed action 

should be approved (i.e., NRC should 

issue a license). In this regard, the NRC 

staff has concluded that the 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action are generally small, and that 

implementation of the proposed AES 

environmental monitoring program and 

AES mitigation measures discussed in 

the Final EIS would eliminate or 

substantially lessen any adverse 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action.
