NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket 40–3392]

Finding of No Significant Impact and

Notice of Opportunity for a Hearing;

Renewal of Source Material License

Sub–526 AlliedSignal, Inc. Metropolis,

Illinois

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission is considering the renewal

of Source Material License SUB–526 for

the continued operation of the

AlliedSignal, Inc. (Allied), UF6

conversion facility, located in

Metropolis, Illinois.

Summary of the Environmental

Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

The proposed action is the renewal of

Allied’s Source Material License SUB–

526 for 10 years. With this renewal, the

Metropolis facility will continue to

convert natural uranium ore

concentrates into UF6 for the

commercial nuclear power industry.

The production of UF6 is one phase in

the fuel cycle resulting in production of

fuel elements for nuclear reactors.

The Need for the Proposed Action

Allied performs a necessary service

for the commercial nuclear power

industry by converting natural uranium

ore concentrates into UF6. The UF6

product is then shipped to gaseous

diffusion plants for the enrichment of

the uranium (U–235) isotope; following

enrichment, the uranium is converted

into fuel for use in nuclear power

reactors. Currently, Allied is the only

UF6 conversion facility operating within

the United States. Denial of the license

renewal for Allied’s Metropolis facility

is an alternative available to the NRC,

but would require the construction of a

new facility at another site.

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed

Action

The radiological impacts of the

continued operation of the Metropolis

facility were assessed by calculating the

radiation dose to the maximally exposed

individual located at the nearest

residence and the collective radiation

dose to the local population living

within 80 kilometers (50 miles) of the

plant site.

Doses From Routine Airborne Releases

Atmospheric releases were

determined for three locations at the

Metropolis facility: (1) the feed material

building, (2) the uranium recovery

facility, and (3) the ore sampling plant.

Based on information provided in the

application, the projected annual

average quantity of uranium released

from each emission point was

estimated. The isotopic distribution of

the uranium and the solubility class of

the uranium were also determined.

Relatively small amounts of thorium230 and radium-226 are also released

from the Metropolis facility. The

radiation doses resulting from

atmospheric releases were estimated

using the XOQDOQ and GENII

computer codes. The maximally

exposed individual was located at the

nearest residence, which was 564

meters (1,850 feet) north northeast of the

Metropolis facility. The radiation dose

Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE)

to the nearest resident is estimated to be

1.5 mrem per year. This estimated

radiation dose is less than the limit of

10 mrem per year established by the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) in 40 CFR Part 61 for the air

pathway and less than the limit of 25

mrem per year established by the EPA

in 40 CFR Part 190 for all pathways. It

is also less than the 100 mrem per year

limit established by the NRC in 10 CFR

Part 20. The highest organ dose is to the

lungs from insoluble forms of uranium.

The estimated lung dose of 9.3 mrem

per year is less than the dose limit

established in 40 CFR Part 190; the

thyroid doses were also an insignificant

fraction of the 75 mrem per year thyroid

dose limit established in 40 CFR Part

190.

The population surrounding Allied’s

facility is about 471,410 people, based

on 1990 census data. The collective

dose to the surrounding population is

estimated to be 4.1 person-rem per year.

Based on an average background

radiation dose of 0.360 rem per year for

individuals in the U.S., the same

population would receive about 170,000

person-rem per year from background

radiation. Thus, the collective radiation

dose associated with atmospheric

releases from Allied’s facility is a very

small percentage (0.0024%) of the

collective radiation dose from

background radiation for these same

people.

Doses From Aqueous Releases

The projected annual average quantity

of radionuclides released to the Ohio

River from the Metropolis facility was

estimated using information provided

by the applicant. The GENII computer

code was used to estimate radiation

doses through ingestion, shoreline

exposure, and water submersion

pathways. The estimated radiation dose

(TEDE) to the maximally exposed

individual located 8 kilometers (5 miles)

downstream of the Metropolis facility is

estimated to be 0.0013 mrem per year.

This estimated radiation dose is far less

than the 100 mrem per year limit

established by the NRC in 10 CFR Part

20 and the 25 mrem per year limit

established by EPA in 40 CFR Part 190.

The estimated radiation dose of 0.0013

mrem per year is also far less than the

dose of 4 mrem per year that is the basis

for the drinking water standards

contained in 40 CFR Part 141.

The estimated collective radiation

dose to the population (4,846 people)

located in Cairo, Illinois, as a result of

liquid releases is estimated to be 0.0030

person-rem per year. Based on an

average background radiation dose of

0.360 rem per year for individuals in the

U.S., this same population would

receive about 1,700 person-rem per year

from background radiation; the

collective radiation dose associated with

liquid releases from Allied’s Metropolis

facility thus is a small percentage of the

collective radiation dose from

background.

Accident Evaluation

In the Environmental Assessment, the

NRC evaluated a suite of five accident

scenarios. Four of the five scenarios
