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.
