BILLING CODE 6050–$$–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Second Amended Notice of Intent To 

Modify the Scope of the Surplus 

Plutonium Disposition Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement and 

Conduct Additional Public Scoping 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy, 

National Nuclear Security 

Administration. 

ACTION: Amended Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) announces its intent to 

modify the scope of the Surplus 

Plutonium Disposition Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement (SPD 

Supplemental EIS, DOE/EIS–0283–S2) 

and to conduct additional public 

scoping. DOE issued its Notice of Intent 

(NOI) to prepare the SPD Supplemental 

EIS on March 28, 2007, and issued an 

Amended NOI on July 19, 2010. DOE 

now intends to further revise the scope 

of the SPD Supplemental EIS primarily 

to add additional alternatives for the 

disassembly of pits (a nuclear weapons 

component) and the conversion of 

plutonium metal originating from pits to 

feed material for the Mixed Oxide 

(MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility 

(MFFF), which DOE is constructing at 

the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South 

Carolina. Under the proposed new 

alternatives, DOE would expand or 

install the essential elements required to 

provide a pit disassembly and/or 

conversion capability at one or more of 

the following locations: Technical Area 

55 (TA–55) at the Los Alamos National 

Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, H– 

Canyon/HB–Line at SRS, K–Area at 

SRS, and the MFFF at SRS. In addition, 

DOE has decided not to analyze an 

alternative, described in the 2010 

Amended NOI, to construct a separate 

Plutonium Preparation (PuP) capability 

for non-pit plutonium because the 

necessary preparation activities are 

adequately encompassed within the 

other alternatives. 

The MOX fuel alternative is DOE’s 

preferred alternative for surplus 

plutonium disposition. DOE’s preferred 

alternative for pit disassembly and the 

conversion of surplus plutonium metal, 

regardless of its origins, to feed for the 

MFFF is to use some combination of 

facilities at TA–55 at LANL, K–Area at 

SRS, H–Canyon/HB–Line at SRS and 

MFFF at SRS, rather than to construct 

a new stand-alone facility. This would 

likely require the installation of 

additional equipment and other 

modifications to some of these facilities. 

DOE’s preferred alternative for 

disposition of surplus plutonium that is 

not suitable for MOX fuel fabrication is 

disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot 

Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico. 

DATES: DOE invites Federal agencies, 

state and local governments, Native 

American tribes, industry, other 

organizations, and members of the 

public to submit comments to assist in 

identifying environmental issues and in 

determining the appropriate scope of 

the SPD Supplemental EIS. The public 

scoping period will end on March 12, 

2012. DOE will consider all comments 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 8 / Thursday, January 12, 2012 / Notices 1921 

1The 2010 Amended NOI describes changes in 

the inventory of surplus plutonium to be analyzed 

in the SPD Supplemental EIS, though the total 

quantity remained about 13 MT. On March 30, 

2011, DOE made an amended interim action 

determination to disposition approximately 85 

kilograms (0.085 MT) of surplus, non-pit plutonium 

via the Defense Waste Processing Facility at SRS or 

disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) 

in New Mexico. On October 17, 2011, DOE made 

another interim action determination to dispose of 

500 kilograms (0.5 MT) of surplus, non-pit 

plutonium at WIPP. These determinations do not 

affect the range of reasonable alternatives to be 

analyzed in the SPD Supplemental EIS. 

received or postmarked by March 12, 

2012. Comments received after that date 

will be considered to the extent 

practicable. Also, DOE asks that Federal, 

State, local, and tribal agencies that 

desire to be designated cooperating 

agencies on the SPD Supplemental EIS 

contact the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) Document Manager 

at the addresses listed under ADDRESSES

by the end of the scoping period. The 

Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a 

cooperating agency for sections of the 

EIS as described below. DOE will hold 

a public scoping meeting: 

• February 2, 2012 (5:30 p.m. to 8 

p.m.) at Cities of Gold Hotel, 10–A 

Cities of Gold Road, Pojoaque, NM 

87501. 

The scoping period announced in this 

second Amended NOI will allow for 

additional public comment and for DOE 

to consider any new information that 

may be relevant to the scope of the SPD 

Supplemental EIS. Because the 

additional alternatives do not involve 

new locations except for LANL, and 

because there have been two previous 

scoping periods for this SPD 

Supplemental EIS, DOE does not intend 

to hold additional scoping meetings 

except at Pojoaque, NM, or to extend the 

scoping period beyond that announced 

herein. 

ADDRESSES: Please direct written 

comments on the scope of the SPD 

Supplemental EIS to Ms. Sachiko 

McAlhany, SPD Supplemental EIS 

NEPA Document Manager, U.S. 

Department of Energy, P.O. Box 2324,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

To reduce the threat of nuclear 

weapons proliferation, DOE is engaged 

in a program to disposition its surplus, 

weapons-usable plutonium in a safe, 

secure, and environmentally sound 

manner, by converting such plutonium 

into proliferation-resistant forms not 

readily usable in nuclear weapons. The 

U.S. inventory of surplus plutonium is 

in several forms. The largest quantity is 

plutonium metal in the shape of pits (a 

nuclear weapons component). The 

remainder is non-pit plutonium, which 

includes plutonium oxides and metal in 

a variety of forms and purities. 

DOE already has decided to fabricate 

34 metric tons (MT) of surplus 

plutonium into MOX fuel in the MFFF 

(68 FR 20134, April 24, 2003), currently 

under construction at SRS, and to 

irradiate the MOX fuel in commercial 

nuclear reactors used to generate 

electricity, thereby rendering the 

plutonium into a spent fuel form not 

readily usable in nuclear weapons. 

DOE announced its intent to prepare 

a SPD Supplemental EIS in 2007 to 

analyze the potential environmental 

impacts of alternatives to disposition 

about 13 MT of surplus plutonium (72 

FR 14543; March 28, 2007). DOE issued 

an Amended NOI in 2010 ‘‘to refine the 

quantity and types of surplus weaponsusable plutonium material, evaluate 

additional alternatives, and no longer 

consider in detail one alternative 

identified’’ in the 2007 NOI (75 FR 

41850; July 19, 2010).1 The 2007 NOI 

and 2010 Amended NOI are available at 

http://www.nnsa.energy.gov/nepa/ 

spdsupplementaleis and details from 

them are not reproduced in this second 

Amended NOI. 

In the 2010 Amended NOI, DOE 

proposed to revisit its decision to 

construct and operate a new Pit 

Disassembly and Conversion Facility 

(PDCF) in the F–Area at SRS (65 FR 

1608; January 11, 2000) and analyze an 

alternative to install and operate the pit 

disassembly and conversion capabilities 

in an existing building in K–Area at 

SRS. With this second Amended NOI, 

DOE is proposing to analyze additional 

alternatives for pit disassembly and 

conversion, which could involve the use 

of TA–55 at LANL, H–Canyon/HB–Line 

at SRS, K–Area at SRS, and the MFFF 

at SRS. These alternatives are described 

below under Potential Range of 

Alternatives. 

Purpose and Need for Agency Action 

DOE’s purpose and need remains to 

reduce the threat of nuclear weapons 

proliferation worldwide by conducting 

disposition of surplus plutonium in the 

United States in an environmentally 

safe and timely manner. Comprehensive 

disposition actions are needed to ensure 

that surplus plutonium is converted into 

proliferation-resistant forms. 

Potential Range of Alternatives 

Since the 2010 Amended NOI, DOE 

has reconsidered the potential 

alternatives for pit disassembly and 

conversion. DOE now is proposing to 

analyze additional alternatives. 

The EIS analysis will account for the 

possibility that DOE could use some 

combination of facilities at TA–55 at 

LANL, K–Area at SRS, H–Canyon/HB– 

Line at SRS, and MFFF at SRS to 

disassemble pits, and produce feed for 

the MFFF. 

DOE has determined that the 

construction of a separate Plutonium 

Preparation (PuP) capability would not 

be required because the alternatives that 

are being considered for the disposition 

of non-pit plutonium include any 

necessary preparation activities. 

The complete list of alternatives that 

DOE proposes to analyze in detail in the 

SPD Supplemental EIS is provided 

below. 

Surplus Plutonium Disposition 

DOE will analyze four alternative 

pathways to disposition surplus 

plutonium. There are constraints on the 

type or quantity of plutonium that may 

be dispositioned by each pathway. For 

example, there are safety (criticality) 

limits on how much plutonium can be 

sent to the Defense Waste Processing 

Facility (DWPF) at SRS, and some 

plutonium is not suitable for fabrication 

into MOX fuel. Accordingly, DOE 

expects to select two or more 

alternatives following completion of the 

SPD Supplemental EIS. 

• H–Canyon/DWPF—DOE would use 

the H–Canyon at SRS to process surplus 

non-pit plutonium for disposition. 

Plutonium materials would be 

dissolved, and the resulting plutoniumbearing solutions would be sent to a 

sludge batch feed tank and then to 

DWPF at SRS for vitrification. 

Depending on the quantity, adding 

additional plutonium to the feed may 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1922 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 8 / Thursday, January 12, 2012 / Notices 

increase the amount of plutonium in 

some DWPF canisters above historical 

levels. 

• Glass Can-in-Canister 

Immobilization—DOE would install a 

glass can-in-canister immobilization 

capability in K–Area at SRS. The 

analysis will assume that both surplus 

pit and non-pit plutonium would be 

vitrified within small cans, which 

would be placed in a rack inside a 

DWPF canister and surrounded with 

vitrified high-level waste. This 

alternative is similar to one evaluated in 

the 1999 Surplus Plutonium Disposition 

EIS (SPD EIS; DOE/EIS–0283), except 

that the capability would be installed in 

an existing rather than a new facility. 

Inclusion of cans with vitrified 

plutonium would substantially increase 

the amount of plutonium in some DWPF 

canisters above historical levels. 

• WIPP—DOE would provide the 

capability to prepare and package nonpit plutonium using existing facilities at 

SRS for disposal as transuranic waste at 

WIPP, provided that the material would 

meet the WIPP waste acceptance 

criteria. This alternative may include 

material that, because of its physical or 

chemical configuration or 

characteristics, could not be prepared 

for MFFF feed material and material 

that could be disposed at WIPP with 

minimal preparation. 

• MOX Fuel—Plutonium feed 

material, beyond the 34 MT for which 

a decision already has been made, 

would be fabricated into MOX fuel at 

the MFFF, and the resultant MOX fuel 

would be irradiated in commercial 

nuclear power reactors. For purposes of 

analyzing this alternative, the EIS will 

assume all the surplus pit and some of 

the surplus non-pit plutonium would be 

dispositioned in this manner. 

Pit Disassembly and Conversion 

Capability 

Plutonium pits must be disassembled 

prior to disposition and, for the MOX 

alternative, plutonium metal from pits 

or non-pit material must be converted to 

an oxide form to be used as feed in 

producing MOX Fuel. DOE will analyze 

the potential environmental impacts of 

conducting pit disassembly and/or 

conversion activities in five different 

facilities to support its prior decision to 

disposition 34 MT of surplus plutonium 

by fabrication into MOX fuel and also 

any decision subsequent to this SPD 

Supplemental EIS to disposition 

additional surplus plutonium as MOX 

fuel. The Pit Disassembly and 

Conversion Capability Alternatives that 

NNSA proposes to analyze are: 

• PDCF in F–Area at SRS—DOE 

would construct, operate, and 

eventually decommission a stand-alone 

PDCF to disassemble pits and convert 

plutonium pits and other plutonium 

metal to an oxide form suitable for feed 

to the MFFF, as described in the SPD 

EIS and consistent with DOE’s record of 

decision for that EIS (65 FR 1608; 

January 11, 2000). 

• Pit Disassembly and Conversion 

Capability in K–Area at SRS—DOE 

would construct, operate, and 

eventually decommission equipment in 

K–Area at SRS necessary to perform the 

same functions as the PDCF. The 

alternative would include 

reconfiguration of ongoing K–Area 

operations necessary to accommodate 

construction and operation of the pit 

disassembly and conversion capability. 

• New alternatives for pit 

disassembly and conversion: 

Æ LANL/MFFF—DOE would expand 

existing capabilities in the plutonium 

facility (PF–4) in Technical Area-55 at 

LANL to disassemble pits and provide 

plutonium metal and/or oxide for use as 

feed material in MFFF at SRS. DOE also 

may add a capability to the MFFF to 

oxidize plutonium metal. 

Æ LANL/MFFF/K–Area/H–Canyon/ 

HB–Line at SRS—DOE would expand 

existing capabilities in the plutonium 

facility (PF–4) in Technical Area-55 at 

LANL to disassemble pits and provide 

plutonium metal and potentially oxide 

for use as feed material in MFFF at SRS. 

DOE also may add a capability to the 

MFFF to oxidize plutonium metal. To 

augment the capability to provide feed 

material to the MFFF, DOE also would 

disassemble pits in K–Area at SRS and 

process plutonium metal to an oxide 

form at the H–Canyon/HB–Line at SRS. 

Reactor Operations 

MOX fuel will be irradiated in 

commercial nuclear reactors used to 

generate electricity, thereby rendering 

the plutonium into a spent fuel form not 

readily usable in nuclear weapons. 

• DOE and TVA will analyze the 

potential environmental impacts of any 

reactor facility modifications necessary 

to accommodate MOX fuel operation at 

up to five TVA reactors—the three 

boiling water reactors at Browns Ferry, 

near Decatur and Athens, AL, and the 

two pressurized water reactors at 

Sequoyah, near Soddy-Daisy, TN. DOE 

and TVA will analyze the potential 

environmental impacts of operating 

these reactors using a core loading with 

the maximum technically and 

economically viable number of MOX 

fuel assemblies. 

• DOE will analyze the potential 

environmental impacts of irradiating 

MOX fuel in a generic reactor in the 

United States to provide analysis for any 

additional future potential utility 

customers. 

Potential Decisions 

The SPD Supplemental EIS will not 

reconsider decisions already made to 

disposition surplus plutonium, other 

than the decision to construct and 

operate the PDCF. DOE already has 

decided to fabricate 34 MT of surplus 

plutonium into MOX fuel in the MFFF 

(68 FR 20134; April 24, 2003), currently 

under construction at SRS, and to 

irradiate the MOX fuel in commercial 

nuclear reactors used to generate 

electricity. Subsequent to completion of 

the SPD Supplemental EIS, DOE will 

decide, based on programmatic, 

engineering, facility safety, cost, and 

schedule information, and on the 

environmental impact analysis in the 

SPD Supplemental EIS, which pit 

disassembly and conversion 

alternative(s) to implement to provide 

feed to the MFFF, which alternative(s) 

to implement for preparation of non-pit 

plutonium for disposition, whether to 

use the MOX alternative to disposition 

additional surplus plutonium (beyond 

34 MT), and which alternative(s) 

disposition path(s) to implement for 

surplus plutonium that will not be 

dispositioned as MOX fuel. DOE may 

determine that it can best meet its full 

range of requirements in each of these 

areas by implementing two or more of 

the alternatives analyzed in the SPD 

Supplemental EIS. It is also possible 

that DOE may determine that its full 

range of requirements may be best met 

by implementing a composite set of 

actions that would be drawn from 

within the scope of the set of 

alternatives proposed and analyzed in 

the SPD Supplemental EIS. 

DOE considers those alternatives that 

would avoid extensive construction 

and/or facility modification for the pit 

disassembly and conversion capability 

and non-pit plutonium preparation 

capability as having particular merit 

and, thus, has identified its preferred 

alternative for this proposed action. For 

non-pit plutonium preparation and pit 

disassembly and conversion of 

plutonium metal to MFFF feed for the 

manufacture of MOX fuel, DOE’s 

preferred alternative is to use some 

combination of existing facilities, with 

additional equipment or modification, 

at TA–55 at LANL, K–Area at SRS, H– 

Canyon/HB–Line at SRS, and MFFF at 

SRS, rather than to construct a new, 

standalone facility. The MOX fuel 

alternative is DOE’s preferred 

alternative for surplus plutonium 

disposition. DOE’s preferred alternative 

for disposition of surplus plutonium 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 8 / Thursday, January 12, 2012 / Notices 1923 

that is not suitable for MOX fuel 

fabrication is disposal at WIPP. 

As stated in the 2010 Amended NOI, 

DOE and TVA are evaluating use of 

MOX fuel in up to five TVA reactors at 

the Sequoyah and Browns Ferry Nuclear 

Plants. TVA will determine whether to 

pursue irradiation of MOX fuel in TVA 

reactors, and will determine which 

reactors to use initially for this purpose, 

should TVA and DOE decide to use 

MOX fuel in TVA reactors. 

Potential Environmental Issues for 

Analysis 

DOE has tentatively identified the 

following environmental issues for 

analysis in the SPD Supplemental EIS. 

The list is presented to facilitate 

comment on the scope of the SPD 

Supplemental EIS, and is not intended 

to be comprehensive or to predetermine 

the potential impacts to be analyzed. 

• Impacts to the general population 

and workers from radiological and 

nonradiological releases, and other 

worker health and safety impacts. 

• Impacts of emissions on air and 

water quality. 

• Impacts on ecological systems and 

threatened and endangered species. 

• Impacts of waste management 

activities, including storage of DWPF 

canisters and transuranic waste pending 

disposal. 

• Impacts of the transportation of 

radioactive materials, reactor fuel 

assemblies, and waste. 

• Impacts that could occur as a result 

of postulated accidents and intentional 

destructive acts (terrorist actions and 

sabotage). 

• Potential disproportionately high 

and adverse effects on low-income and 

minority populations (environmental 

justice). 

• Short-term and long-term land use 

impacts. 

• Cumulative impacts. 

NEPA Process 

The first scoping period for the SPD 

Supplemental EIS began on March 28, 

2007, and ended on May 29, 2007, with 

scoping meetings in Aiken and 

Columbia, SC. DOE began a second 

public scoping period with publication 

of an Amended NOI on July 19, 2010, 

and continuing through September 17, 

2010. Public scoping meetings were 

held in Tanner, AL; Chattanooga, TN; 

North Augusta, SC; and Carlsbad and 

Santa Fe, NM. 

Following the scoping period 

announced in this second Amended 

NOI, and after considering all scoping 

comments received, DOE will prepare a 

Draft SPD Supplemental EIS. DOE will 

announce the availability of the Draft 

SPD Supplemental EIS in the Federal 

Register and local media outlets. 

Comments received on the Draft SPD 

Supplemental EIS will be considered 

and addressed in the Final SPD 

Supplemental EIS. DOE currently plans 

to issue the Final SPD Supplemental EIS 

in late 2012. DOE will issue a record of 

decision no sooner than 30 days after 

publication by the Environmental 

Protection Agency of a Notice of 

Availability of the Final SPD 

Supplemental EIS. 

Other Agency Involvement 

The Tennessee Valley Authority is a 

cooperating agency with DOE for 

preparation and review of the sections 

of the SPD Supplemental EIS that 

address operation of TVA reactors using 

MOX fuel assemblies. DOE invites 

Federal and non-Federal agencies with 

expertise in the subject matter of the 

SPD Supplemental EIS to contact the 

NEPA Document Manager (see 

ADDRESSES) if they wish to be a 

cooperating agency in the preparation of 

the SPD Supplemental EIS.
