NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 30–30429; NRC–2023–0202] 

ProTechnics, a Division of Core 

Laboratories LP; Discharge of 

Radioactive Tracers in Well 

Completion Fluids 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact; 

issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing a finding 

of no significant impact (FONSI) and 

accompanying environmental 

assessment (EA) for a license 

amendment request from ProTechnics, a 

division of Core Laboratories LP 

(ProTechnics), byproduct material 

license no. 42–26928–01, to authorize 

discharge of well completion fluids 

containing very small amounts of shortlived radioactive tracers in offshore 

waters in the U.S. Outer Continental 

Shelf (OCS) of the Gulf of Mexico 

(GOM). Based on the analysis in the EA, 

the NRC staff has concluded that there 

would be no significant impacts on the 

quality of the human environment from 

ProTechnics’ proposed license 

amendment request, and therefore, a 

FONSI is appropriate. 

DATES: The EA and FONSI referenced in 

this document are available on 

December 7, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering a license 

application request from ProTechnics to 

authorize discharge of well completion 

fluids containing very small amounts of 

short-lived radioactive tracers in 

offshore waters in the OCS of the GOM. 

In its license amendment request, 

ProTechnics stated that, in connection 

with well logging in the GOM, it 

performs single well subsurface tracer 

studies in established oil and gas 

production basins located in OCS 

waters. In general, all of the material 

that enters the formation would be 

retained behind a screen mesh. Only the 

material remaining on the well bore side 

of the screen mesh would be returned to 

the surface (ADAMS Accession Nos. 

ML22325A156 and ML23009B762). As 

required by section 51.21 of title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), and in light of ProTechnics’ 

license amendment request, the NRC 

staff prepared an EA that documents its 

independent evaluation of the potential 

environmental impacts of the disposal 

of short-lived radioactive tracers in the 

offshore waters. Based on the analysis in 

the EA, the NRC staff has concluded 

that there would be no significant 

impacts on the quality of the human 

environment from ProTechnics’ 

proposed disposal methods, and 

therefore, the NRC is issuing a FONSI. 

II. Summary of Environmental 

Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

ProTechnics is seeking a license 

amendment to authorize discharge of 

well completion fluids containing very 

small amounts of short-lived radioactive 

tracers in offshore waters in the OCS of 

the GOM. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC staff has assessed the 

potential environmental impacts from 

ProTechnics’ disposal of short-lived 

radioactive tracers in the offshore waters 

of the GOM. The NRC staff expect the 

radioactive tracer beads to remain 

chemically inert in the GOM seawater, 

due to the ceramic coating on the beads. 

Thus, the embedded radioactive metal 

particles would not dissolve or leach 

out of the beads to combine with the 

seawater. Data to support this 

conclusion was provided with 

ProTechnics’ license amendment 

request. Additionally, the radioisotopes 

used have a short half-life (70 to 84 

days) and therefore, would decay in a 

short period of time. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

An alternative to the proposed action 

is the no-action alternative. Under the 

no-action alternative, the NRC would 

not grant ProTechnics’ license

Final Rules Relating to Non-Public Information, 

June 27, 2018, Attachment A at 19–22 (Order No. 

4679). 

amendment request for disposal of 

limited concentrations of short-lived 

radioactive tracers into offshore waters 

of the OCS in the GOM. In order for 

ProTechnics to continue supporting oil 

and gas drilling operations in the OCS 

of the GOM, it would need a license 

amendment to authorize retention of the 

tracer materials on the drilling rigs or 

support vessels. The retained well 

completion fluids containing the tracer 

materials would need to be transported 

to shore for transfer to an authorized 

disposal facility. The NRC staff 

considers that transfer and movement of 

the well completion fluids containing 

tracer material would present an 

increased likelihood of accidents and an 

increased potential for occupational and 

public radiological doses in comparison 

to the proposed action. 

Agencies and Person Consulted 

The NRC staff consulted with 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) Fisheries 

regarding its determination that the 

proposed action is not likely to 

adversely affect listed species or 

habitats. By email dated November 17, 

2023, NOAA Fisheries concurred with 

the NRC staff’s determination. 

Therefore, no further consultation is 

required under Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended. Further, the NRC staff 

determined that the proposed action is 

not the type of activity that has the 

potential to cause effects on historic 

properties. Therefore, consistent with 36 

CFR 800.3(a)(1), no consultation is 

required under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The final EA is available in ADAMS 

under Accession No. ML23334A173. 

Dated: December 4, 2023.
