DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Consolidation of Nuclear 

Operations Related to Production of 

Radioisotope Power Systems

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) announces its intent to prepare 

an environmental impact statement 

(EIS), pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, for the proposed consolidation of 

nuclear activities related to production 

of radioisotope power systems (RPS) 

required for Government national 

security and space exploration missions 

at a single, highly secure DOE site. 

Currently, DOE’s ongoing RPS-related 

production operations are located at 

three DOE sites in Idaho, New Mexico 

and Tennessee, requiring the transport 

of radioactive material that could be 

avoided by consolidation of these 

activities at a single site. The proposed 

consolidation of these operations, which 

includes production, purification, and 

encapsulation of plutonium-238 (Pu238), would be consistent with DOE’s 

approach on consolidating nuclear 

materials, increasing the security of 

nuclear materials, and reducing risks 

associated with transportation of 

nuclear materials. The EIS will analyze 

all reasonable alternatives for the 

consolidation of the RPS operations as 

well as the No Action alternative.

DATES: DOE invites public comments on 

the proposed scope of this EIS. The 

public scoping period begins with the 

publication of this notice and concludes 

on January 31, 2005. DOE invites the 

general public, Native American Tribes, 

State and local governments, other 

Federal agencies, DOE stakeholders, and
