SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background 

DOE published a Federal Register 

notice (78 FR 1848) on January 9, 2013, 

to announce its intent to implement the 

decision made in 2001 for production of 

Pu-238, which was based on the 

analyses conducted in the NI PEIS 

(DOE/EIS–0310) issued in 2000. 

Because the NI PEIS was published 13 

years ago, the Department decided to 

conduct a supplement analysis of the NI 

PEIS to ascertain if there are significant 

new circumstances or new information 

relevant to environmental concerns 

which should be analyzed prior to 

implementing the 2001 decision. 

This NI PEIS SA (DOE/EIS–0310–SA– 

02) was prepared in accordance with 

DOE’s NEPA Implementing Procedures 

at 10 CFR 1021.314. The relevant 

environmental aspects analyzed in the 

NI PEIS were re-analyzed, as necessary, 

with updated information. The 

Department also analyzed the 

alternatives which were evaluated in the 

NI PEIS, including any additional 

reasonable alternatives that may warrant 

analysis and consideration in the SA. 

The proposed action as analyzed in the 

NI PEIS has not changed except for the 

change in storage location of 

neptunium-237 (Np-237, the target 

material) from the Oak Ridge National 

Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee to the 

Materials and Fuels Complex at the 

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in 

Idaho. After completing an earlier SA 

(DOE/EIS–0310–SA–01), the 

Department published an Amended 

Record of Decision for this change of 

storage location in August 2004 (69 FR 

50180). After completing this SA, the 

Department has determined that the 

analysis contained in the NI PEIS, 

including the analysis of alternatives, is 

still valid. There are no significant new 

circumstances or information relevant to 

environmental concerns which would 

warrant preparation of a supplement to 

the NI PEIS or a new EIS. Therefore, the 

Department reaffirms the decision made 

in the NI PEIS ROD (January 26, 2001; 

66 FR 7877) for production of up to five 

kilograms of Pu-238 per year using the 

Advanced Test Reactor at INL and the 

High Flux Isotope Reactor at ORNL to 

irradiate Np-237 targets, and using the 

Radiochemical Engineering 

Development Center (REDC) at ORNL to 

fabricate Np-237 targets and isolate Pu238. The processing of Pu-238 into fuel 

pellets at the Los Alamos National 

Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico and 

assembly and testing of radioisotope 

power systems (RPSs) at INL in existing 

facilities will continue as ongoing 

operations. The RPSs are used to 

support the National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration and national 

security missions. 

The NI PEIS SA, including the 

determination, has been posted on the 

DOE NEPA Web site at http://

energy.gov/nepa/supplement-analysessa, with internet links provided on the 

Office of Nuclear Energy (http://

energy.gov/ne/), Idaho Operations Office 

(http://www.id.energy.gov/insideNEID/

PublicInvolvement.htm), and Oak Ridge 

Office (http://www.oakridge.doe.gov/

external/) Web sites. Copies of the SA 

and the determination have been placed 

in the DOE public reading room(s) in 

Washington, DC; Idaho Falls, Idaho; and 

Oak Ridge, Tennessee; for a reasonable 

period of time. Copies may also be 

requested from Dr. Rajendra Sharma at 

the address provided above.
