DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Notice of Availability of the Final

Environmental Impact Statement on

the Disposal of the S3G and D1G

Prototype Reactor Plants

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy

(DOE) Office of Naval Reactors (Naval

Reactors) has published the Final

Environmental Impact Statement on the

Disposal of the S3G and D1G Prototype

Reactor Plants. The Final Environmental

Impact Statement was prepared in

accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of

1969; Council on Environmental Quality

regulations implementing NEPA (40

CFR Parts 1500–1508); and DOE NEPA

Implementing Procedures (10 CFR Part

1021). The Final Environmental Impact

Statement and its supporting references

are available to the public at the

Saratoga Springs Public Library in

Saratoga Springs and the Schenectady

County Public Library in Schenectady,

New York. The Final Environmental

Impact Statement is also available by

mail upon request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The S3G and D1G Prototype reactor

plants are located on the Kesselring Site

near West Milton, New York,

approximately 17 miles north of

Schenectady. The S3G and D1G

Prototype reactor plants first started

operation in 1958 and 1962,

respectively, and served for more than

30 years as facilities for testing reactor

plant components and equipment and

for training of U.S. Navy personnel. As

a result of the end of the Cold War and

the downsizing of the Navy, the S3G

and D1G Prototype reactor plants were

shut down in May 1991 and March

1996, respectively. Since then, the S3G

and D1G Prototype reactor plants have

been defueled and placed in a safe and

stable protective storage condition. The

Kesselring Site will not be released for

other uses in the foreseeable future

since two active prototype reactor plants

continue to operate to perform training

of U.S. Navy personnel and testing of

naval nuclear propulsion plant

equipment.

Alternatives Considered

1. Prompt Dismantlement—Preferred

Alternative

The Final Environmental Impact

Statement identifies prompt

dismantlement as the preferred

alternative. If selected, this alternative

would be subject to the availability of

appropriated funding. This alternative

would involve the prompt

dismantlement of the S3G and D1G

Prototype reactor plants. All S3G and

D1G Prototype reactor plant systems,

components and structures would be

removed from the Kesselring Site. To

the extent practicable, the resulting lowlevel radioactive metals would be

recycled at existing commercial

facilities. The remaining low-level

radioactive waste would be disposed of

at the DOE Savannah River Site in

South Carolina. The Savannah River

Site currently receives low-level

radioactive waste from Naval Reactors’

sites in the eastern United States. Both

the volume and radioactive content of

the S3G and D1G Prototype reactor

plant low-level waste fall within the

projections of Naval Reactors’ waste

provided to the Savannah River Site,

which are included in the Savannah

River Site Waste Management Final

Environmental Impact Statement, dated

July 1995. For the purposes of providing

an upper bound in transportation

related risk analyses, transportation of

low-level radioactive waste to the

Hanford Site in Washington State is also

evaluated. There are no current plans to

ship low-level radioactive wastes from

S3G and D1G Prototype reactor plant

dismantlement activities to the Hanford

Site. In the event that shipment of these

wastes to Hanford Site becomes

necessary, waste disposal plans and

activities would comply with all

applicable State and Federal statutes

and regulations.
