interested persons and can be requested

as described above.

The Draft PEIS evaluates siting and

technology alternatives related to

tritium supply and recycling. Four

technologies for tritium supply are

assessed in the PEIS: Heavy Water

Reactor, Modular High-Temperature

Gas-Cooled Reactor, Advanced Light

Water Reactor, and Accelerator

Production of Tritium. Five sites for

new tritium supply facilities and tritium

recycling facilities are assessed: the

Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

(Idaho Falls, Idaho); the Nevada Test

Site (Las Vegas, Nevada); the Pantex

Plant (Amarillo, Texas); the Savannah

River Site (Aiken, South Carolina); and

the Oak Ridge Reservation (Oak Ridge,

Tennessee). Two options for tritium

recycling are evaluated: upgrade of

existing tritium recycling facilities at the

Savannah River Site, or collocation of a

new tritium recycling facility with the

tritium supply facility at one of the

other sites.

Two of the three reactor technologies

(Advanced Light Water Reactor and

Modular High Temperature Gas-Cooled

Reactor) are also evaluated in the Draft

PEIS as ‘‘triple play’’ reactors which are

capable of ‘‘burning’’ plutonium in

addition to producing tritium and

generating electricity. Additionally, the

Draft PEIS includes an assessment of the

generic environmental impacts of

producing tritium in an existing

commercial reactor, either as a

contingency option in the event of a

national emergency, or if the

Department should choose to purchase

such a reactor and convert it to defense

purposes. The Department does not

have a preferred alternative at this time

for tritium supply and recycling sites, or

for a tritium supply technology. The

Final PEIS will include any preferred

alternative. However, the Department

may choose to identify a preferred

alternative prior to issuing the Final

PEIS.

Six public hearings to receive

comments on the Draft PEIS will be held

as follows:

Washington, DC—April 5, 1995,

AGENCY: Office of Civilian Radioactive

Waste Management, Department of

Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the

Response Summary Report for the

Department of Energy’s Notice of

Inquiry on Waste Acceptance Issues.

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy

published a Notice of Inquiry on May

25, 1994, to elicit the views of affected

parties on: (1) The Department’s

preliminary view that it does not have

a statutory obligation to accept spent

nuclear fuel in 1998 in the absence of

an operational repository or a suitable

storage facility constructed under the

Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as

amended; (2) the need for an interim,

away-from-reactor storage facility prior

to repository operations; and (3) options

for offsetting, through the use of the

Nuclear Waste Fund, a portion of the

financial burden that may be incurred

by utilities in continuing to store spent

nuclear fuel at reactor sites beyond 1998

(59 FR 27007). The Notice of Inquiry

implemented the Secretary’s initiative

to invite the views of interested parties

and to advance the consensus-building

process on resolving these important

issues.

The Notice of Inquiry requested

written comments on or before

request from six organizations, the

Department received more than 1,100

comment letters in response to the

Notice of Inquiry.

The purpose of this Notice is to

announce the availability of the Notice

of Inquiry on Waste Acceptance Issues

— Response Summary Report which the

Department prepared to present a

summary of the comments received in

costs when (a) such rates are based on

stale avoided cost data, (b) the utility no

longer needs the capacity, and (c) the

find that a state utility commission may

not modify a privately negotiated

purchase agreement or, in the

may modify such an agreement, the

utility must have the opportunity to

demonstrate the purchase price is

higher than the utility’s avoided cost as
