filtercake containing metals. Prior to

filtering of the liquid effluents, thorium

in this waste stream was released to a

public sanitary sewerage system in

accordance with 10 CFR 20.2003

regulatory limits. A restriction is

required, that not more than two

effective containers be disposed of each

month, in order to ensure that such

disposals do not exceed the criterion of

25 millirem per year (25 mrem/y) to a

member of the public.

Alternatives to the Proposed Action

The staff considered results of

analyses using a generic model for

unrestricted release of the material. The

staff concluded that disposal pursuant

to 10 CFR 20.2002 of this material

without restrictions would meet the 25

mrem/y criterion only if the filtercake

did not exceed 4.1 pCi/g Th-232.

The staff considered results of

analyses to determine if site-specific

data, such as regional meteorological

and subsurface information, would be

likely to change the dose assessment

results significantly. The staff

concluded that annual doses would be

less than those resulting from

assessments using the generic model,

but the annual doses still would be in

excess of the 25 mrem/y criterion if the

filtercake contained up to 25 pCi/g Th232.

The staff considered results of

analyses using a model that assumed the

landfill would not be used for any

future activities, as could occur if deed

restrictions were in place that prevented

exhumation of the landfill. The staff

concluded that doses would meet the 25

mrem/y criterion but that such deed

restrictions are unlikely at this time.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The activities that NRC staff will

authorize, pursuant to 10 CFR 20.2002,

through the issuance of an amendment

to License No. STA–1455 is expected to

have an insignificant impact on the

environment. The disposal of the

filtercake containing up to 25 pCi/g Th–

232, restricted so that no more than two

effective containers of filtercake are

disposed of per month to an industrial

landfill, would not exceed the criterion

of 25 mrem/y to a member of the public.

Conclusion

The environmental impacts from the

proposed action are insignificant.

Finding of No Significant Impact

The Commission has prepared an

Environmental Assessment related to

the proposed disposal pursuant to 10

CFR 20.2002 of filtercake containing up

to 25 pCi/g thorium-232 and progeny

from II–VI. On the basis of the

Environmental Assessment, the

Commission has concluded that this

licensing action would not significantly

affect the environment and does not

warrant the preparation of an

environmental impact statement.

Accordingly, it has determined that a

Finding of No Significant Impact is

appropriate.

The above documents related to this

proposed action are available for public

inspection and copying at the

Commission’s Public Document Room

at the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street

NW, Washington, DC.
