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.
