DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Record of Decision for the Final 

Construction and Demonstration of a 

Prototype Mobile Microreactor 

Environmental Impact Statement 

AGENCY: Strategic Capabilities Office 

(SCO), Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Record of decision. 

SUMMARY: The DoD, acting through the 

Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO), is 

issuing this Record of Decision (ROD) 

for the Final Construction and 

Demonstration of a Prototype Mobile 

Microreactor Environmental Impact 

Statement (Final EIS). SCO has decided 

to implement the Proposed Action (the 

preferred alternative) as described in the 

Final EIS. The Proposed Action is to 

fabricate the prototype mobile 

microreactor and reactor fuel at existing 

off-site commercial facilities and 

demonstrate the microreactor at the 

Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Idaho 

National Laboratory (INL) Site. The 

analysis in the EIS demonstrates that 

implementing the Proposed Action 

would have small environmental 

consequences that would not require 

mitigation outside of practices required 

by regulations, permits, or agreements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Inherent dangers, logistical 

complexities, and costs of sustaining 

power demands using diesel generators 

at U.S. Military Forward Operating 

Bases, Remote Operating Bases, and 

Expeditionary Bases constrain 

operations and fundamental strategic 

planning. Technologies under 

development, such as unmanned aerial 

vehicles, new radar systems, new 

weapon systems, and electrifying the 

non-tactical vehicle fleet, will require 

even greater energy demands. A Defense 

Science Board study recommended 

further engineering development and 

prototyping of very small modular 

reactors with an output of less than 10 

megawatts of electrical power. Before 

this technology can be deployed, a 

prototype mobile microreactor must be 

tested to ensure it can meet DoD 

specifications and requirements. 

Proposed Action 

The Proposed Action fabricates, at offsite commercial facilities, a small, 

advanced gas-cooled microreactor 

capable of producing 1 to 5 megawatts 

of electrical power. Reactor fuel would 

be produced from DOE stockpiles of 

highly enriched uranium (HEU) located 

at the Y–12 National Security Complex 

in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, that would be 

converted from a metal to an oxide at 

the Nuclear Fuel Services (a subsidiary 

of BWX Technologies, Inc. [BWXT]) 

facility in Erwin, Tennessee, and down 

blended to high-assay low-enriched 

uranium (HALEU) and fabricated into 

tristructural isotropic (TRISO) reactor 

fuel at the BWXT facility in Lynchburg, 

Virginia. The Proposed Action would 

use DOE technical expertise and 

facilities at the INL Site to demonstrate 

the mobile microreactor capabilities. 

Demonstration Activities at the INL Site 

The proposed activities on the INL 

Site involve demonstrating that the 

proposed mobile microreactor can 

produce reliable electric power for an 

electrical grid that is separate from the 

public utility grid and that the mobile 

microreactor can be safely disassembled 

and transported. Activities at the INL 

Site include: Receiving the mobile 

microreactor and reactor fuel at the 

Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC); 

fueling the mobile microreactor at the 

Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) 

or Hot Fuel Examination Facility 

(HFEF); startup testing the mobile 

microreactor at MFC or the Critical 

Infrastructure Test Range Complex 

(CITRC); disassembling and transporting 

the mobile microreactor from MFC to 

CITRC or at CITRC; assembling, 

operating, and disassembling the mobile 

microreactor at CITRC; transporting the 

disassembled mobile microreactor to 

temporary storage and temporarily 

placing it in storage at the Radioactive 

Scrap and Waste Facility (RSWF) or 

Outdoor Radioactive Storage Area 

(ORSA); and potentially conducting 

mobile microreactor and spent nuclear 

fuel post-irradiation examination (PIE) 

and disposition. Section 2.3 of the Final 

EIS details the evaluated activities. 

Alternatives 

The EIS evaluated a Proposed Action 

(the preferred alternative) and a No 

Action Alternative, which serves as a 

basis for comparison with the Proposed 

Action. The INL Site was identified as 

the preferred location based on siting 

requirements for the demonstration of 

the mobile microreactor. Other sites, 

including the Oak Ridge National 

Laboratory (ORNL), did not meet the 

required siting criteria. Specifically, 

other sites lacked sufficient supporting 

infrastructure. In particular, the ORNL 

site does not have an independent 

electrical distribution system that can be 

isolated from the commercial power 

grid. The demonstration requires an 

independent, isolable electrical 

distribution system. The program for 

demonstration of the mobile 

microreactor is intended to demonstrate 

its operation under a wide variety of 

operational conditions. Demonstration 

of all these capabilities in a controlled 

environment requires the ability to 

receive power from an existing electric 

grid, as well as dispatch mobile 

microreactor-generated power to an 

isolated and locally controlled 

distribution system. Therefore, ORNL 

was not considered for further analysis. 

NEPA Process 

The EIS and this ROD were prepared 

in accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) and Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) NEPA regulations (Title 

40 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

[CFR] Parts 1500–1508). The DOE 

participated as a cooperating agency in 

preparing the EIS. 

A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an 

EIS was published in the Federal 

Register on March 2, 2020 (85 FR 

12274). The public scoping period 

started with publication of the NOI in 

the Federal Register and was extended 

to April 30, 2020. All scoping comments 

were considered during development of 

the Draft EIS. 

On September 24, 2021, the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

published a Notice of Availability 

(NOA) in the Federal Register (86 FR 

53054) announcing the availability of 

the Draft EIS and the start of a comment 

period with an end date of November 9, 

2021. During the public comment 

period, Federal agencies, state and local 

governmental entities, Native American 

tribes, and members of the public were 

invited to submit comments via the 

project website, U.S. mail, or email. 

Additionally, SCO held two public 

hearings on October 20, 2021, at the 

Shoshone-Bannock Hotel and Event 

Center in Fort Hall, Idaho. The public 

hearings were webcast to offer more 

opportunities for public participation. 

In total, SCO received 43 comment 

documents containing 197 comments. 

All comments were considered during 

development of the Final EIS. On 

February 25, 2022, the EPA published 

an NOA in the Federal Register (87 FR 

10784) announcing the availability of 

the Final EIS. 

Potential Environmental Impacts 

As described in the Final EIS, 

implementing the Proposed Action at 

the INL Site is expected to have small 

environmental consequences that would 

not substantially contribute to 

cumulative impacts. Except for the 

construction of two concrete pads and 

fencing, no land disturbing construction 

activities would be required for the 

Proposed Action. Therefore, the 

Proposed Action would have little or no 

impact on land resources, visual 

resources, noise, geology and soils, 

ecological resources, and cultural and 

paleontological resources. The analyses 

showed that there would be no 

significant impacts on air quality, water 

resources, socioeconomics, public and 

occupational health and safety, 

environmental justice, and 

transportation. The analysis showed 

that radiological and nonradiological 

hazard risks, as well as the associated 

exposures to workers and the public, 

would be low and well within 

regulatory limits and guidelines 

established by the DOE and the EPA. 

Broadly, workers and members of the 

public are protected from exposure to 

radioactive material and hazardous 

chemicals by facility design and 

administrative procedures. The 

construction modifications to existing 

facilities at the INL Site would have no 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 73 / Friday, April 15, 2022 / Notices 22523 

radiological impact on members of the 

public or workers. There are three 

phases of Project Pele demonstration 

that could result in radiological 

emissions: Startup testing, operational 

testing, and post-irradiation 

examination prior to disposition of the 

mobile microreactor. The analysis 

showed that the annual radiological air 

emissions from the mobile microreactor 

during these phases are expected to be 

no more than the quantities emitted 

during normal INL Site operations, 

which, as stated previously, are well 

within regulatory and guidelines. As 

described in the Final EIS, the analysis 

of impacts is applicable to (i.e., bounds) 

whichever of the two candidate mobile 

microreactor designs is selected. 

Environmentally Preferable Alternative 

The environmentally preferable 

alternative is the No Action Alternative. 

Under the No Action Alternative, 

prototype mobile microreactor 

construction and demonstration would 

not occur, resulting in fewer impacts 

than under the Proposed Action. 

However, the No Action Alternative 

would not meet the purpose and need 

for construction and demonstration of a 

prototype mobile microreactor. 

Comments on the Final Construction 

and Demonstration of a Prototype 

Mobile Reactor EIS 

SCO posted the Final EIS and 

Comment Response Document on the 

project website https://

www.mobilemicroreactoreis.com and 

EPA published a Notice of Availability 

in the Federal Register (87 FR 10784, 

February 25, 2022). In response to these 

Notices, SCO received seven (7) 

comments related to the Final EIS, 

including comments wanting to know 

more about the project, requests from 

individuals wanting to be added to the 

mailing list, and comments expressing 

concerns with the potential impacts of 

the action. SCO considered all of these 

comments during the preparation of this 

ROD. SCO has concluded that none of 

the comments identified a need for 

further NEPA analysis. 

Decision 

Subject to the availability of 

appropriations, SCO’s decision is to 

implement the Proposed Action (the 

preferred alternative) as described in the 

Final EIS. The final design 

determination by SCO is being made 

through a competitive down-select 

review process between the two designs 

and will be announced publicly through 

other official channels. As described in 

the Final EIS, the analysis of impacts is 

applicable to (i.e., bounds) whichever 

one of the two candidate mobile 

microreactor designs is selected. All 

facility options considered at the INL 

Site are reasonable and have similar 

environmental impacts; therefore, SCO 

is not making decisions related to the 

INL Site facilities options to be used to 

(1) conduct mobile microreactor core 

fueling and final assembly (HFEF or 

TREAT); (2) conduct mobile 

microreactor startup testing (MFC or 

CITRC); and (3) temporarily store the 

mobile microreactor (RSWF or ORSA). 

These facility options are all 

encompassed within the preferred 

alternative decision and were fully 

evaluated in the Final EIS. Selection of 

facility options will not substantially 

change the findings discussed in this 

ROD. As bounded by the applicable 

analysis of impacts within the Final EIS, 

SCO’s selection of facilities for the 

demonstration will be informed by the 

final design determination. 

Basis for the Decision 

The Final EIS provided the SCO 

decision-maker with important 

information regarding potential 

environmental impacts of alternatives 

and options for satisfying the purpose 

and need. In addition to environmental 

information, SCO also considered 

public comments, statutory 

responsibilities, strategic objectives, 

technology needs, safeguards and 

security, cost, and schedule in its 

decision making. 

Mitigation Measures 

No potential adverse impacts were 

identified that would require additional 

mitigation measures beyond those 

required by regulations, permits, and 

agreements or achieved through design 

features or best management practices. 

However, if mitigation measures above 

and beyond those required by 

regulations, permits, and agreements are 

identified to reduce impacts during 

implementation, they would be 

developed, documented, and executed.
