Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 160 / Thursday, August 18, 2011 / Notices 51361 

Potential impacts were based on 

processing 10 metric tons of HEU per 

year at each facility. 

The potential impacts would remain 

similar to those analyzed in the HEU 

EIS and Supplement Analysis. NNSA 

expects that there would be changes 

over time due to factors such as normal 

population fluctuations among work 

forces and in communities near the 

involved facilities. These changes 

would not create any significant new 

circumstances or information related to 

the proposed actions. Activities would 

continue in existing, appropriately 

licensed or approved facilities. Potential 

environmental impacts would remain 

small and within applicable regulatory 

and other limits. 

For AFS, which was not envisioned in 

the HEU EIS, potential impacts of the 

domestic program would be identical to 

those associated with the ongoing HEU 

disposition program. Prior to delivery to 

a reactor, one or more commercial 

nuclear fuel fabrication facilities would 

accommodate the LEU for the AFS 

reserve in its working inventory and 

existing storage capacity. This activity 

would be consistent with the facilities’ 

existing NRC operating licenses and 

would not require additional 

construction. In addition, as analyzed in 

the Supplement Analysis, transportation 

activities to provide LEU to foreign 

reactors would add small potential 

impacts associated with transfer 

activities at the port of departure and 

overseas shipments through the global 

commons. 

Disposal of certain HEU materials as 

LLW would result in potential impacts 

associated with transportation and 

disposal. Nevada National Security Site 

(NNSS) is the most likely disposal site 

for this LLW. The HEU EIS included an 

analysis of transporting 0.9 percent LEU 

to NNSS for disposal. Without downblending, the low-equity HEU materials 

would have a higher concentration of 

uranium-235, but with approved 

packaging and other required controls, 

the potential impacts would be similar 

to the transportation and disposal of 0.9 

percent LEU at NNSS. DOE also has 

analyzed transportation of low-level 

radioactive wastes to NNSS in the 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Nevada Test Site and Off-Site Locations 

in the State of Nevada (DOE/EIS–0243). 

That EIS also included analysis of waste 

disposal activities and resulted in a 

ROD identifying the NNSS as available 

for the disposal of LLW if it meets the 

NNSS waste acceptance criteria (61 FR 

65551, December 13, 1996). If NNSA 

were to use a different facility for 

disposal, the transportation impacts 

would be similar to those associated 

with use of NNSS (i.e., similar distances 

and population distributions would be 

involved), and disposal would occur in 

existing, licensed facilities so that 

impacts would be consistent with 

approved operations at the facility. 

Recognizing the potential for disposal at 

other sites, the HEU EIS identified the 

analysis of transportation impacts to 

NNSS as representative of other possible 

routes. In addition, DOE has analyzed 

the transportation and disposal of LLW 

in other NEPA analyses, including the 

Waste Management Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Managing Treatment, Storage, and 

Disposal of Radioactive and Hazardous 

Waste (DOE/EIS–0200, 1997). 

Amended Decision 

Consistent with the decisions 

announced in the ROD issued pursuant 

to the HEU EIS (61 FR 40619; August 5, 

1996), NNSA will continue ongoing 

surplus HEU disposition program 

activities. NNSA has decided to also 

make the following changes to the HEU 

disposition program: 

(1) Implement the AFS, including 

storage of LEU and, as needed, 

transportation of the LEU by ship across 

the ocean for use in foreign reactors. 

(2) Dispose of certain HEU materials 

as low-level radioactive waste without 

prior down-blending if the materials 

meet applicable waste acceptance 

criteria. 

(3) Increase the quantity of HEU 

available for down-blending and 

continue down-blending operations 

beyond the 20 years anticipated in the 

1996 HEU EIS. 

NNSA will use all practicable means 

to avoid or minimize environmental 

harm when implementing the actions 

described in this Amended ROD. NNSA 

operates pursuant to a number of 

Federal laws including environmental 

laws, DOE Orders, and Federal, State, 

and local controls and agreements. Also, 

the commercial activities associated 

with the down-blending, transportation, 

and storage of HEU and LEU are 

regulated by the NRC and the 

Department of Transportation. Many of 

these requirements mandate actions that 

serve to mitigate potential adverse 

environmental impacts. 

For transactions that trigger the 

requirements of section 3112(d) of the 

United States Enrichment Corporation 

Privatization Act, DOE will assess the 

impact of a release from the AFS on the 

domestic market, and will provide its 

recommendation to the Secretary to 

make the appropriate determination as 

to whether the transfer will have an 

adverse material impact on the domestic 

uranium enrichment, conversion, or 

mining industries.
