review at the DOE reading room

locations listed at the end of this Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 26, 1995, the Department

published a Notice of Availability

(NOA) in the Federal Register (60 FR

54967) of the Disposition of Surplus

Highly Enriched Uranium Draft

Environmental Impact Statement for

public review and comment. The NOA

invited the public to comment on the

draft EIS during a 45-day comment

period that was to end December 11,

1995. Subsequently, in response to

public requests, the Department

announced in the Federal Register (60

FR 58056, November 24, 1995) an

extension of the comment period until

January 12, 1996. Public workshops on

the draft HEU EIS were held in

Knoxville, Tennessee on November 14,

1995, and in Augusta, Georgia on

November 16, 1995.

Alternatives Considered

The HEU Final EIS assesses

environmental impacts of five

reasonable alternatives identified for the

disposition of up to 200 metric tons of

surplus HEU. This includes HEU that

has already been declared surplus (175

metric tons) as well as additional

weapons-usable HEU that may be

declared surplus in the future. The

material is currently located at facilities

throughout the Department’s nuclear

weapons complex, but the majority is

in, or destined for, interim storage at the

Department’s Y–12 Plant in Oak Ridge,

Tennessee. Except for the no action

alternative, all reasonable alternatives

involve blending HEU with depleted,

natural, or low-enriched uranium (LEU)

to make LEU, which is not weaponsusable, and the majority of which would

have potential commercial value as nondefense, nuclear power plant fuel feed.

The alternatives, except for the no

action alternative, reflect blending

different proportions of the HEU to LEU

for commercial use versus blending it to

LEU for disposal as waste. The

alternatives also present different

combinations of blending sites and

blending processes.

Alternative 1 as presented in the HEU

Final EIS is No Action (continued

storage of surplus HEU). Alternative 2 is

No Commercial Use, and represents

blending all 200 metric tons of surplus

HEU to waste (fuel/waste ratio of 0/100)

using the four blending sites listed

below. Alternative 3 is Limited

Commercial Use, and includes

transferring 50 metric tons of HEU (and

7000 metric tons of natural uranium) to

the United States Enrichment

Corporation (USEC) for commercial use,

but blending the remaining 150 metric

tons of HEU to waste (fuel/waste ratio

of 25/75). Alternative 3 assumes the 50

metric tons of commercial material

would be blended at two commercial

blending sites, and the waste material

would be blended at four sites.

Alternative 4 is Substantial Commercial

Use, and represents blending 130 metric

tons of HEU for commercial use and 70

metric tons for disposal as waste (fuel/

waste ratio of 65/35). Alternative 5 is

Maximum Commercial Use, and

represents blending 170 metric tons of

HEU for commercial use and 30 metric

tons for disposal as waste (fuel/waste

ratio of 85/15). Both Alternatives 4 and

5, like Alternative 3, include the

proposal to transfer 50 metric tons of

HEU and 7,000 metric tons of natural

uranium to USEC for commercial use.

Alternatives 4 and 5 each have four site

variations: (a) two DOE sites only, (b)

two commercial sites only, (c) all four

sites, and (d) each site alone. The DOE

and commercial sites that can perform

HEU conversion and blending are:

DOE’s Y–12 Plant at the Oak Ridge

Reservation in Oak Ridge, Tennessee;

DOE’s Savannah River Site in Aiken,

South Carolina; the Babcock & Wilcox

Naval Nuclear Fuel Division in

Lynchburg, Virginia; and the Nuclear

Fuel Services, Inc. Plant in Erwin,

Tennessee. The EIS also assesses the

environmental impacts of necessary

transportation of materials. For a more

complete discussion of the alternatives

and their impacts, the reader is referred

to the HEU Final EIS or its Summary.

The alternatives as described are not

intended to represent exclusive options

among which the Department must

choose, but rather are analyzed to

represent reasonable points in the

matrix of possible choices. The HEU

Final EIS explains how impacts would

change if the exact fuel/waste ratio or

division among sites or processes were

different.

Preferred Alternative

The HEU Final EIS, as did the Draft

EIS, identifies DOE’s preferred

alternative as Alternative 5 (Maximum

Commercial Use) and site variation c

(all four sites). Under this alternative,

the commercial use of surplus HEU

would be maximized and the blending

would most likely be done at some

combination of commercial and DOE

sites over a period of 15 to 20 years. The

Department prefers this alternative

because commercial use of LEU derived

from surplus HEU not only would serve

the objective of rendering these

materials non-weapons-usable, but it

would also allow for peaceful, beneficial

reuse of the material, recover

investment for the Federal Treasury,

and reduce Government waste disposal

costs that would be incurred if all (or a

greater portion of) the material were

blended to waste.

Major Comments Received

During the 78-day public comment

period on the HEU Draft EIS, DOE

received comments on the document by

mail, fax, telephone recording,

electronic mail, and orally at the two

public workshops. All of the comments

are presented in Volume II of the HEU

Final EIS, the Comment Analysis and

Response Document. The major themes

that emerged from public comments on

the HEU Draft EIS were as follows:

• There was broad support for the

fundamental objective of transforming

surplus HEU to non-weapons-usable

form by blending it down to LEU (for

either fuel or waste).

• There was concern from elements of

the uranium fuel cycle industry that the

entry into the market of LEU fuel

derived from U.S. and Russian HEU

could depress uranium prices and

possibly lead to the closure of U.S.

uranium mines, conversion plants, or

enrichment plants.

• There was opposition to

commercial use of LEU fuel derived

from surplus HEU because some

commentors believed that such use

increases proliferation risk by creating

commercial spent nuclear fuel, which

includes plutonium. There was also

support for commercial use of the

material.

The HEU Final EIS has been modified

in several respects (relative to the Draft

EIS) in response to comments received,

as well as other changes in

circumstances since publication of the

Draft EIS:

• The discussion of potential impacts

on the uranium industry has been

augmented to reflect the recent

enactment of the USEC Privatization Act

(Public Law 104–134), and to better

reflect the cumulative impacts in light

of the U.S.-Russian Agreement to

purchase Russian HEU (blended down

to LEU).

• The discussion of the rates of

disposition actions that could result in

commercial sales of LEU has been

modified to reflect a more pragmatic

assessment of the time required for DOE

to make surplus HEU available for

disposition. The document was also

modified to address the provision of the

USEC Privatization Act (signed into law

on April 26, 1996) that requires the

Department to determine that its sales of

uranium would not have adverse
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 126 / Friday, June 28, 1996 / Notices 33721

material impacts on the domestic

uranium mining, conversion, or

enrichment industries.

• Numerous other technical and

editorial changes have been made to the

document.

With respect to the comments

opposing commercial use of LEU

derived from surplus HEU, the

Department does not agree that the

spent nuclear fuel that would result

from such use poses significant

proliferation risks, because spent fuel is

highly radioactive and difficult to

handle, and is thus in a form which is

proliferation resistant. Reactors that

might use LEU fuel derived from

surplus HEU would simply use fuel

obtained from virgin uranium if the LEU

derived from surplus HEU did not exist.

There would be no increase in spent

fuel and no increase in plutonium

created in that spent fuel as a

consequence of this program.

Furthermore, commercial use of the

material would result in the generation

of less waste material, and generally

would involve lower environmental

impacts than would the blend-to-waste

alternative.

Floodplain Proposed Statement of

Findings

Pursuant to the Department’s

regulations (10 CFR Part 1022)

implementing Executive Order 11988,

Floodplain Management, DOE must

assess the potential impacts of its

proposed actions in floodplains.

Floodplain impacts were discussed in

the water resources sections of the HEU

Draft EIS. This information has been

compiled into a separate Floodplain

Assessment and Proposed Statement of

Findings in the Final EIS (in section

4.13).

Because HEU blending activities

associated with the proposed action and

its alternatives could be accommodated

in existing facilities without structural

modifications, no positive or negative

impacts on floodplains would be

expected at any of the candidate sites.

Similarly, since blending facilities are

not located in the vicinity of wetlands,

no impacts to wetlands are anticipated.

The Floodplain Assessment indicates

that blending operations at the Y–12

Plant and B&W would be

accommodated in facilities located

outside 100- and 500-year floodplains.

At SRS, the F- and H-Canyons that

could be used for blending also fall

outside 100-year floodplains. The 500-

year floodplain limits at SRS have not

been delineated. The NFS site is

partially located in 100- and 500-year

floodplains (as determined by a current

FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map).

However, as described in the Final EIS,

mitigation measures have been, and will

continue to be, implemented to reduce

potential flooding of the site and the

likelihood of adverse impacts.

The Department will consider, in its

Record of Decision, public comments

received by July 15, 1996 on the

Floodplain Assessment and Proposed

Statement of Findings.

Cost Comparison for Highly Enriched

Uranium Disposition Alternatives

To assist the Department in reaching

a Record of Decision on surplus HEU

disposition, a study, Cost Comparison

for Highly Enriched Uranium

Disposition Alternatives, was prepared

on behalf of the Department by the Oak

Ridge Y–12 Plant, Oak Ridge,

Tennessee, which is managed by

Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc.

The report addresses the costs of downblending and commercial use of various

quantities of LEU derived from surplus

HEU versus down-blending surplus

HEU to LEU for disposal as waste, as

defined by the alternatives in the HEU

Final EIS. The report estimates that

blending HEU to LEU for commercial

use would save up to $4 billion in direct

costs when compared to the alternative

of blending to LEU for disposal as

waste. The Cost Comparison, which was

completed in April 1996, was

disseminated for review at the

beginning of May 1996 to all

commentors who expressed an interest

in cost issues as well as to all public

workshop attendees. The full text of the

Cost Comparison has been made

available on the Fissile Materials

Disposition Electronic Bulletin Board/

World Wide Web Page. (http://

web.fie.com/htdoc/fed/doe/fsl/pub/

menu/any/). Copies can also be obtained

by calling (202) 586–4513. Comments

received on the Cost Comparison by July

15, 1996 will be considered as

appropriate in the Record of Decision.
