NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 70–7003; NRC–2021–0058] 

American Centrifuge Operating, LLC; 

American Centrifuge Plant 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact; 

issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering the 

amendment submitted by the American 

Centrifuge Operating, LLC (ACO) of 

Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) 

License SNM–2011 for the American 

Centrifuge Plant (ACP), a proposed 

commercial uranium enrichment facilty 

to be located in Piketon, Ohio. The NRC 

has prepared an environmental 

assessment (EA) for this proposed 

license amendment in accordance with 

its regulations. Based on the EA, the 

NRC has concluded that a finding of no 

significant impact (FONSI) is 

appropriate. The NRC is also conducting 

a safety evaluation of the proposed 

license amendment. 

DATES: The EA and FONSI referenced in 

this document are available on June 14, 

2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering a license 

amendment request (LAR) for license 

SNM–2011 for the ACP located on the 

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 

reservation in Piketon, Ohio (ADAMS 

Accession Nos. ML20139A097 and 

ML20139A098). The licensee, ACO, is 

requesting authorization to enrich 

uranium-235 up to the level necessary 

to produce High-Assay Low-Enriched 

Uranium (HALEU) pursuant to a 

contract with DOE. Under the 3-year 

term of the DOE contract, ACO would 

operate a cascade consisting of 16 

centrifuges for the purpose of 

demonstrating the commercial viability 

of HALEU production for potential 

future use in advanced reactors. 

The NRC staff has prepared a final EA 

as part of its review of this LAR request 

in accordance with the requirements of 

Part 51 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Environmental 

Protection Regulations for Domestic 

Licensing and Related Regulatory 

Functions.’’ Based on the final EA, the 

NRC has determined that an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) is 

not required for this proposed action 

and a FONSI is appropriate. The NRC is 

also conducting a safety evaluation of 

the proposed license amendment 

pursuant to 10 CFR part 70, and the 

results will be documented in a separate 

Safety Evaluation Report (SER). If ACO’s 

request is approved, the NRC will issue 

the license amendment following 

publication of this final EA and FONSI 

and the SER in the Federal Register. 

II. Final Environmental Assessment 

Summary 

ACO is requesting an amendment to 

license SNM–2011 to authorize the 

enrichment of uranium-235 to the level 

necessary to produce HALEU in a 

demonstration cascade pursuant to a 

contract with DOE. The NRC has 

assessed the potential environmental 

impacts of the proposed action and the 

no-action alternative. The results of the 

NRC’s environmental review can be 

found in the final EA (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML21085A705). The NRC 

staff performed its environmental 

review in accordance with the 

requirements in 10 CFR part 51. In 

conducting the environmental review, 

the NRC considered information in the 

LAR; communications with the Ohio 

State Historic Preservation Office; as 

well as information provided by the 

Ohio Ecological Services Field Office of 

Fish and Wildlife, the Ohio Department 

of Health, and the Environmental 

Protection Agency Region V. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

Based on its review of the proposed 

action in the EA, in accordance with the 

requirements in 10 CFR part 51, the 

NRC has concluded that the proposed 

action, amendment of NRC license 

SNM–2011 for the American Centrifuge 

Co., LLC, located in Piketon, Ohio, will 

not significantly affect the quality of the 

human environment. Therefore, the 

NRC has determined, pursuant to 10 

CFR 51.31, that preparation of an EIS is 

not required for the proposed action and 

a FONSI is appropriate. 

Dated: June 8, 2021.

Branch, Division of Rulemaking,
