SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is considering issuing a license 

amendment to Conopco, Inc., d.b.a. 

Unilever Research and Development 

(Unilever), for Materials License No. 29–

00304–02, to authorize release of its 

facility in Edgewater, New Jersey, for 

unrestricted use. NRC has prepared an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) in 

support of this action in accordance 

with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 

51. Based on the EA, the NRC has 

concluded that a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) is 

appropriate. 

II. EA Summary 

The purpose of the proposed action is 

to authorize the release of the licensee’s 

Edgewater, New Jersey, facility for 

unrestricted use. Unilever was 

authorized by NRC from 1956 to use 

radioactive materials for research and 

development purposes at the site. On 

May 23, 2005, Unilever requested that 

NRC release the facility for unrestricted 

use. Unilever has conducted surveys of 

the facility and provided information to 

the NRC to demonstrate that the site 

meets the license termination criteria in 

Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 20 for 

unrestricted use. 

The NRC staff has prepared an EA in 

support of the license amendment. The 

facility was remediated and surveyed 

prior to the licensee requesting the 

license amendment. The NRC staff has 

reviewed the information and final 

status survey submitted by Unilever. 

Based on its review, the staff has 

determined that there are no additional 

remediation activities necessary to 

complete the proposed action. 

Therefore, the staff considered the 

impact of the residual radioactivity at 

the facility and concluded that since the 

residual radioactivity meets the 

requirements in Subpart E of 10 CFR 

Part 20, a Finding of No Significant 

Impact is appropriate. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The staff has prepared the EA 

(summarized above) in support of the 

license amendment to terminate the 

license and release the facility for 

unrestricted use. The NRC staff has 

evaluated Unilever’s request and the 

results of the surveys and has concluded 

that the completed action complies with 

the criteria in Subpart E of 10 CFR Part 

20. The staff has found that the 

radiological environmental impacts 

from the action are bounded by the 

impacts evaluated by NUREG–1496, 

Volumes 1–3, ‘‘Generic Environmental 

Impact Statement in Support of 

Rulemaking on Radiological Criteria for 

License Termination of NRC-Licensed 

Facilities’’ (ML042310492, 

ML042320379, and ML042330385). 

Additionally, no non-radiological or 

cumulative impacts were identified. On 

the basis of the EA, the NRC has 

concluded that the environmental 

impacts from the action are expected to 

be insignificant and has determined not 

to prepare an environmental impact 

statement for the action.
