DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

National Nuclear Security 

Administration 

Record of Decision: Site-Wide 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Continued Operation of Los Alamos 

National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 

AGENCY: Department of Energy, National 

Nuclear Security Administration. 

ACTION: Record of decision. 

SUMMARY: The National Nuclear 

Security Administration (NNSA) of the 

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is 

issuing this Record of Decision (ROD) 

for the continued operation of the Los 

Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in 

Los Alamos, New Mexico. This ROD is 

based on information and analyses 

contained in the Final Site-Wide 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Continued Operation of Los Alamos 

National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New 

Mexico, DOE/EIS–0380 (Final SWEIS or 

2008 SWEIS) issued on May 16, 2008; 

comments on the SWEIS; and other 

factors, including costs, security 

considerations and the missions of 

NNSA. 

In the 2008 SWEIS, NNSA assessed 

three alternatives for the continued 

operation of LANL: (1) No Action, (2) 

Reduced Operations, and (3) Expanded 

Operations. The No Action Alternative 

analyzed in this SWEIS consists of 

NNSA and LANL continuing to 

implement earlier decisions based on 

previous National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) reviews, including the 1999 

LANL SWEIS (DOE/EIS–0238) and its 

ROD (64 FR 50797, Sept. 20, 1999). The 

2008 SWEIS identified the Expanded 

Operations Alternative as NNSA’s 

Preferred Alternative. The SWEIS 

includes a classified appendix that 

assesses the potential environmental
