SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Nuclear Security Enterprise is 

currently performing the highest 

throughput of work in over 30 years, 

which includes plutonium (Pu) research 

and development (R&D). As the 

weapons in the Nation’s nuclear 

stockpile continue to age beyond their 

original design lifetime, an increased 

amount of experimental data developed 

through Pu R&D is necessary to 

continue NNSA’s science-based 

stewardship of the nuclear weapons 

stockpile. NNSA has a need for 

additional R&D space or enhanced 

utilization of existing R&D space due to 

new and evolving international security 

concerns. This enhanced utilization is 

critical to NNSA’s Stockpile 

Stewardship and Management Program 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 7 / Monday, January 13, 2025 / Notices 2679 

(SSMP), to preventing the spread and 

use of nuclear weapons worldwide, and 

to many other areas that may impact 

national security and global stability. 

The LLNL Plutonium Facility has 

been in operation since the 1960s. Its 

mission is to support the nuclear 

weapons program through research in 

the physical, metallurgical, and 

chemical properties of Pu, including 

aging, dismantlement, and disposition 

in support of stockpile stewardship, as 

well as fabrication, testing, and 

assembly of plutonium device parts in 

support of experimental activities. The 

Pu Facility is part of the LLNL 

Superblock, which includes several 

supporting R&D facilities within the 

770-acre laboratory site in Livermore, 

California (Livermore Site). The 

Livermore Site is situated about 50 

miles east of San Francisco in 

southeastern Alameda County. 

Mission 

The 21st century presents a growing 

set of challenges that are the focus of the 

Laboratory’s mission as an NNSA 

national security laboratory. National 

security policies require DOE, through 

NNSA, to maintain the U.S. nuclear 

weapons stockpile and the Nation’s core 

competencies in nuclear weapons. 

NNSA has the mission to maintain and 

enhance the safety, security, and 

effectiveness of the nuclear weapons 

stockpile. The 2022 Nuclear Posture 

Review stated that an effective, 

responsive, and resilient nuclear 

weapons infrastructure is essential to 

the U.S. capacity to adapt to shifting 

requirements, and to support the 

sustainment of its nuclear forces to 

protect the homeland, assure allies, 

deter adversaries, and hedge against 

adverse developments. 

LLNL’s defining responsibility is 

ensuring the safety, security, and 

reliability of the Nation’s nuclear 

deterrent. LLNL’s mission is broader 

than stockpile stewardship and also 

includes missions that respond to 

national security and global security 

concerns that range from nuclear 

proliferation and terrorism to energy 

shortages and climate change. The 

Laboratory’s science and engineering 

capabilities are applied to these 

challenges. Programs at LLNL support 

DOE; NNSA; the Department of Defense; 

the Department of Homeland Security; 

other Federal, State and local agencies; 

private and academic sponsors; and 

other scientific institutions. 

The Strategic Deterrence Program 

(previously the Weapons and Complex 

Integration or WCI Program in the 2023 

LLNL SWEIS) at LLNL works to ensure 

that the Nation’s nuclear deterrent 

remains safe, secure, and reliable. The 

program accomplishes this through the 

SSMP—an ongoing effort to apply a 

science-based fundamental 

understanding of nuclear weapons 

performance—from the development of 

enhanced warhead surveillance tools 

that detect the onset of problems to 

manufacturing capabilities that produce 

critical components and the use of highperformance computational capabilities. 

Purpose and Need for Agency Action 

As U.S. nuclear weapons continue to 

age beyond their original design 

lifetime, an increased amount of 

experimental data developed through 

Pu R&D is necessary to continue the 

science-based stewardship of the 

nuclear weapons stockpile. NNSA has a 

need for additional R&D space due to 

new and evolving international security 

concerns. NNSA is constrained in Pu 

R&D space, and the Pu Facility R&D 

capabilities at LLNL could be better 

optimized in support of mission areas 

including designs of the nuclear 

explosives package for Life Extension 

Programs, Modification Programs, and 

Alteration programs, as well as 

certifications of weapons as they enter 

the stockpile. There is a need to perform 

enhanced utilization of Pu R&D 

operations at the LLNL Plutonium 

Facility from Security Category (CAT) III 

operational levels to CAT II operations. 

The LLNL Pu Facility was originally 

built and operated as a Security CAT I 

facility and is the only immediately 

available facility with the capacity and 

capability to conduct this required 

Security CAT II work. Increasing Pu 

R&D floorspace through construction of 

a new Security CAT I or II facility could 

take decades, while re-establishment of 

Security CAT II operations at the LLNL 

Plutonium Facility may take 

approximately five years. 

By the end of 2012, NNSA removed 

excess Pu inventories as part of the DeInventory Project, resulting in the LLNL 

Pu Facility operating at Security CAT III 

operational levels as this appeared to be 

an effective level of support for that 

time. However, the limitations of 

Security CAT III operations at LLNL are 

now insufficient for NNSA’s Pu R&D 

requirements. NNSA will be able to 

fulfill its current and potential future 

national security requirements in a 

timely manner by enhancing the 

utilization of the LLNL Pu Facility to 

Security CAT II operational levels. 

Requirements To Fulfill DOE NEPA 

Compliance 

The SEIS will be prepared pursuant to 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.), the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 through 

1508), the DOE NEPA Implementing 

Procedures (10 CFR part 1021), and 

NNSA policy document NAP 451.1, 

National Environmental Policy Act 

Compliance Program. The DOE 

regulations (10 CFR 1021.314, 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statements) require preparation of a 

supplement to an EIS if there are 

substantial changes or significant new 

circumstances and information relevant 

to environmental concerns. The SEIS 

will be prepared in the same manner as 

a draft or final EIS and will provide the 

public with an analysis of the potential 

environmental impacts from reasonable 

alternatives. The SEIS would utilize the 

2023 LLNL SWEIS for baseline data for 

ongoing Security CAT III operations. 

The NEPA process allows for all 

interested agencies (Federal, State, and 

local), Native American Tribes, public 

interest groups, local businesses, and 

members of the general public to 

participate in the environmental review 

process. Although the scoping process is 

optional for an SEIS per 10 CFR 

1021.314(d), NNSA has decided to 

include scoping to inform interested 

members of the public. 

Preliminary Alternatives 

The NEPA public scoping process is 

an opportunity for the public to assist 

NNSA in determining a reasonable 

range of alternatives and potential 

environmental issues for analyses. 

NNSA welcomes specific comments or 

suggestions on the content of these 

alternatives, or on other alternatives that 

could be considered. A preliminary set 

of alternatives and environmental issues 

for evaluation in the SEIS are identified 

below. Additionally, during the 

development of the SEIS, NNSA may 

consider other alternatives that are 

reasonable and that fulfill the purpose 

and need for agency action. 

Proposed Action Alternative (Enhanced 

Plutonium Facility Utilization) 

The SEIS would continue ongoing 

operations at the LLNL Superblock and 

would add several new actions to 

support the enhanced Pu facility 

utilization. These include: (1) increasing 

the amount of fissile materials for R&D 

activities, (2) upgrading the security 

categorization of the LLNL Pu Facility 

from Security CAT III to Security CAT 

II, (3) conducting infrastructure 

construction activities, (4) increasing 

materials shipments and waste 

generation/shipments during 

operations, and (5) adding operational 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
2680 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 7 / Monday, January 13, 2025 / Notices 

and security personnel to support 

Security CAT II operations. 

No Action Alternative (Continuing 

Present Operations) 

The No Action Alternative would 

continue current facility (CAT III) 

operations at the Superblock as 

described in the 2023 LLNL SWEIS. 

Other Potential Reasonable 

Alternatives 

NNSA welcomes input on alternatives 

to be analyzed in the SEIS that the 

public thinks are reasonable and that 

fulfill the purpose and need for agency 

action. Alternatives that NNSA will not 

consider as reasonable are closure of the 

Superblock and transfer of current 

missions/operations from Superblock to 

other NNSA sites, as those actions 

would be inconsistent with the purpose 

and need defined by NNSA. NNSA will 

identify the environmentally preferrable 

alternative from the list of alternatives 

analyzed in the SEIS. 

Preliminary Environmental Analysis 

The following issues have been 

identified for analysis in the SEIS. The 

list is tentative and intended to facilitate 

public comment on the scope of the 

SEIS. It is not intended to be allinclusive, nor does it imply any 

predetermination of potential impacts. 

The NNSA specifically invites 

suggestions for the addition or deletion 

of items on this list. 

1. Potential effects on the public and 

workers from exposures to radiological 

and hazardous materials during normal 

operations, construction, reasonably 

foreseeable accidents, and intentional 

destructive acts. 

2. Impacts on water resources, 

including floodplains and wetlands. 

3. Impacts on air quality, climate, and 

greenhouse gases. 

4. Impacts to plants and animals and 

their habitat, including species which 

are federally- or State-listed as 

threatened or endangered, or of special 

concern. 

5. Impacts on soil. 

6. Impacts to cultural resources such 

as those that are historic and 

paleontological. 

7. Socioeconomic impacts to affected 

communities. 

8. Environmental justice, including 

impacts to minority and low-income 

populations. 

9. Potential impacts on land use and 

applicable plans and policies. 

10. Impacts from traffic and 

transportation of radiological and 

hazardous materials and waste to and 

from the LLNL Site. 

11. Materials and waste management 

activities. 

12. Impacts on visual aesthetics and 

noise levels from the Superblock on the 

surrounding communities and ambient 

environment. 

13. Impacts to community services, 

including fire protection, police 

protection, schools, and solid waste 

disposal in landfills. 

14. Impacts from use of utilities, 

including water and electricity 

consumption, fuel use, sewer 

discharges, and resource conservation. 

15. Impacts from site contamination, 

characterization, and remediation. 

16. Unavoidable adverse impacts due 

to natural phenomena (e.g., floods, 

earthquakes, etc.). 

17. Environmental compliance and 

inadvertent releases. 

18. Short-term uses and long-term 

productivity. 

19. Irreversible and irretrievable 

commitment of resources. 

20. Cumulative effects of past, 

present, and future operations. 

21. Mitigation commitments. 

SEIS Process 

The SEIS scoping process is intended 

to involve all interested agencies 

(Federal, State, and local), Native 

American Tribes, public interest groups, 

local businesses, and members of the 

general public. Interested parties are 

invited to participate in the SEIS 

process and to refine the preliminary 

alternatives and environmental issues 

that are reasonable. An SEIS scoping 

meeting will be scheduled, and all 

interested parties will be invited to 

assist the NNSA in refining alternatives 

and defining the scope of the SEIS 

analyses. 

Following the scoping process 

announced in this Notice, and after 

consideration of comments received 

during scoping, NNSA will prepare a 

Draft SEIS. NNSA will announce the 

availability of the Draft SEIS in the 

Federal Register and local media 

outlets. NNSA will hold one or more 

public hearings for the Draft SEIS. Any 

comments received on the Draft SEIS 

will be considered and addressed in the 

Final SEIS. NNSA will then issue a ROD 

no sooner than 30 days after publication 

by the Environmental Protection Agency 

of a Notice of Availability of the Final 

SEIS. 

Relationship to Existing and Other 

NEPA Analyses 

The following references provide 

previous NEPA analyses; these are 

related to Plutonium Facility operations: 

• The ROD for the 2023 LLNL SWEIS 

(DOE/EIS–0547; 89 FR 12831) for 

continued operations of LLNL was 

issued in February 2024. This was the 

conclusion of a process involving 

detailed analysis, public involvement, 

and document preparation. In 

particular, the 2023 SWEIS analyzed 

Superblock operations at Security CAT 

III operations and Hazard Category 2 

levels. 

• In 2011, NNSA prepared a 

Supplement Analysis (SA) (DOE/EIS– 

0348–SA–03) to the 2005 LLNL SWEIS 

(DOE/EIS–0348; DOE/EIS–0236–S3) 

which stated the ongoing De-Inventory 

Project would decrease the amount of 

Special Nuclear Material (SNM) in longterm storage onsite and continue the 

transfer of Security Category I/II SNM 

from LLNL to receiver sites through the 

end of 2012. 

• In 2008, NNSA completed the 

Complex Transformation Supplemental 

Programmatic EIS (DOE/EIS–0236–S4) 

which stated that NNSA would 

continue on-going activities to transfer 

Security CAT I/II SNM from LLNL 

under the No Action Alternative and 

phase out Security CAT I/II operations 

at LLNL by the end of 2012. 

• In 2007, NNSA completed a 

Supplement Analysis and an amended 

ROD (72 FR 51807) on the Storage and 

Disposition of Weapons-Usable Fissile 

Materials EIS (DOE/EIS–0229, DOE/ 

EIS–0229–SA–04), which analyzed 

consolidating storage of surplus, non-pit 

weapons usable plutonium from LLNL, 

Los Alamos National Laboratory, and 

Hanford to Savannah River Site. 

• The 2005 LLNL SWEIS (DOE/EIS– 

0348) and its corresponding ROD (70 FR 

71491) analyzed the impacts of 

continued operations at LLNL, 

including Superblock operations at 

Security CAT I levels (NNSA 2005). 

• In 2024, NNSA completed an SA 

(DOE/EIS–0426–SA–01) and an 

amended ROD (89 FR 61104) on the 

SWEIS for the Continued Operation of 

the DOE/NNSA Nevada National 

Security Site (NNSS) and Off-Site 

Locations in the State of Nevada. NNSS 

provides Pu target material shipments to 

and from the LLNL Superblock for R&D 

experiments. 

EIS Preparation and Schedule 

NNSA expects to issue the Draft SEIS 

by the end of summer 2025.
