Final Environmental Impact Statement for Programmatic Spent

Nuclear Fuel Management and Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Programs

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is giving notice of the

availability of the final environmental impact statement (EIS) for

Programmatic Spent Nuclear Fuel Management and Idaho National

Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Environmental Restoration and Waste

Management Programs (DOE/EIS-0203). The final EIS was prepared in

accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 (NEPA); Council on Environmental Quality regulations

implementing NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508; and DOE NEPA Implementing

Procedures, 10 CFR Part 1021. The final EIS addresses Department-wide

spent nuclear fuel (SNF) management strategies for the transportation,

receipt, storage, and processing of these fuels. In addition, the final

EIS addresses proposed environmental restoration and waste management

activities at the INEL. The Department of the Navy was a cooperating

agency in preparing this EIS.

Upon completion of general distribution of the document, DOE will

file the final EIS with the Environmental Protection Agency, which will

then publish a Notice of Availability in the Federal Register. The

final EIS will also be available to the public in DOE reading rooms and

designated information locations which are identified in this notice.

DOE plans to issue a Record of Decision on the final EIS by June 1,

1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

DOE issued a draft EIS for public comment and published a Notice of

Availability in the Federal Register on June 24, 1994 (59 FR 32688).

Thereafter, DOE held 33 public hearings in 20 cities across the nation

in order to obtain public comments on the draft EIS. In addition,

public comments were received by mail, a toll-free telephone line, and

facsimile. More than 1,430 commentors, including a broad spectrum of

private citizens, businesses, local, state and federal officials,

Native American Tribes, and public interest groups, commented on the

draft EIS. Comments are summarized in Volume 3 of the final EIS. DOE

and Navy responses to those comments are also provided in Volume 3, as

well as discussions of which comments resulted in changes to the EIS.

Public comments on the draft EIS were assessed and considered both

individually and collectively by DOE and the Navy. Some comments

resulted in modifications to the EIS. For other comments, DOE explained

why a change to the EIS was not warranted. Most responses to such

comments communicated government policy, indicated that the comment was

beyond the scope of the EIS, explained the relationship of this EIS to

other related NEPA documents, referred commentors to information in the

EIS, answered technical questions, or further explained technical

issues.

The final EIS, like the draft EIS, addresses the potential

environmental impacts associated with alternatives for managing DOE

spent nuclear fuel on a national level (Volume 1). The final EIS also

addresses potential environmental impacts related to the management of

solid, radioactive, mixed and hazardous wastes, spent nuclear fuel, and

environmental restoration activities at the INEL (Volume 2). DOE

conducted [[Page 20980]] these analyses as part of the decisionmaking

process for: (1) Programmatic (nationwide) decisions regarding the

management of DOE and Navy spent nuclear fuel; and (2) site-specific

decisions regarding the future direction of the environmental

restoration and waste management programs at the INEL. DOE's

programmatic decisions will determine the locations for managing

existing and projected quantities of spent nuclear fuel from now until

the year 2035. DOE's site-specific decisions for INEL will determine

how to manage environmental restoration and waste management activities

and spent nuclear fuel during the next 10 years. DOE's objectives are

to mitigate, through environmental restoration, the impacts of previous

operations, and to treat, store, and dispose of waste at INEL in a safe

and efficient manner.

Alternatives Considered

Programmatic management alternatives for spent nuclear fuel

discussed in Volume 1 include: Alternative 1, No Action--perform

minimum activities required for safe and secure management at or close

to the generation site or current storage location; Alternative 2,

Decentralization--storage and stabilization of most spent nuclear fuel

at or near the generation site with limited shipments from university

and non-DOE facilities; Alternative 3, the 1992/1993 Planning Basis--

transport to and store newly generated spent nuclear fuel at INEL or

the Savannah River Site and consolidate some existing spent nuclear

fuel at INEL; Alternative 4, Regionalization--distribute existing and

projected spent nuclear fuel among DOE sites based on fuel type or

geographic location (an eastern regional site and a western regional

site); and Alternative 5, Centralization--manage all existing and

projected spent nuclear fuel at one site until ultimate disposition.

Five DOE sites have been analyzed for roles in the management of DOE

spent nuclear fuel: (1) the Hanford Site at Richland, Washington; (2)

the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in southeastern Idaho; (3)

the Savannah River Site in Aiken, South Carolina; (4) the Oak Ridge

Reservation in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and (5) the Nevada Test Site near

Mercury, Nevada. In addition, four Naval shipyards and the Kesselring

site (near West Milton, New York) are being considered for management

of Naval spent nuclear fuel only. The four Naval shipyards are: (1)

Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia; (2) Portsmouth Naval

Shipyard, Kittery, Maine; (3) Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, Honolulu,

Hawaii; and (4) Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington.

The INEL site-specific alternatives related to environmental

restoration and waste management discussed in Volume 2 include:

Alternative A, No Action--complete all identified near-term actions and

continue to operate most existing facilities; Alternative B, the 10-

Year Plan--complete all identified actions and initiate new projects to

enhance cleanup, manage laboratory wastes and spent nuclear fuel;

Alternative C, Minimum Treatment, Storage, and Disposal--minimize

treatment, storage and disposal activities to the extent possible,

conduct minimum cleanup and decontamination and decommissioning

activities prescribed by regulation and transfer spent nuclear fuel and

waste from environmental restoration activities to another site; and

Alternative D, Maximum Treatment, Storage, and Disposal--maximize

treatment, storage and disposal functions at INEL to accommodate waste

and spent nuclear fuel from the DOE complex and conduct maximum cleanup

and decontamination and decommissioning.

Preferred Alternatives

DOE's preferred alternatives are identified in the final EIS. The

identification of the preferred alternatives for Volume 1 and Volume 2

was based on consideration of environmental impacts, regulatory

compliance, DOE and Navy spent nuclear fuel programmatic missions,

Idaho National Engineering Laboratory environmental restoration and

waste management programs, public comments, national security and

defense, and cost.

Preferred Alternative for Programmatic Spent Fuel Management

(Volume 1)

The DOE's preferred alternative for programmatic spent nuclear fuel

management is Regionalization-By-Fuel-Type (Alternative 4A). Under this

alternative, aluminum clad fuel would be consolidated at the Savannah

River Site, non-aluminum fuel (including spent nuclear fuel from the

Fort Saint Vrain reactor in Colorado) would be consolidated at the

Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, and defense production fuel

would be retained at the Hanford Site.

The Navy would continue to conduct refueling and defueling of

nuclear-powered vessels and prototypes, and to transport spent nuclear

fuel to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory for full examination

at the Expended Core Facility and interim storage. Following

examination, fuel would remain in storage at the Idaho National

Engineering Laboratory. The DOE preferred alternative is consistent

with the Navy's preferred alternative identified in the draft EIS.

Under the preferred alternative, facility upgrades, replacements,

and additions would be undertaken as necessary, and research and

development activities would be conducted. Spent nuclear fuel

processing might also occur. Other forms of stabilization might be

needed to provide for safe storage and/or transport. Site-specific

spent nuclear fuel management decisions will be made after further

site-specific or project-specific NEPA evaluations, as appropriate,

have been prepared.

The final EIS also states that for planning purposes, DOE assumes

that some or all of the SNF in its inventory that satisfies a geologic

repository's acceptance criteria, could be placed in the first

repository developed under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, as amended.

While sufficient quantity and quality of information are still not

available to determine whether the Yucca Mountain site is a suitable

candidate for geologic disposal of SNF and high-level radioactive

wastes, DOE is in the early planning stages of a repository EIS which

will be prepared pursuant to the directives of the Nuclear Waste Policy

Act, as amended. Until the repository EIS is complete, no final

decision could be made concerning what DOE SNF would be accepted in a

geologic repository.

Preferred Alternative for Environmental Restoration and Waste

Management Programs at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

(Volume 2)

The DOE's preferred alternative for INEL environmental restoration

and waste management programs is the Ten Year Plan (Alternative B)

enhanced to include elements from other alternatives. Under the

preferred alternative, ongoing spent nuclear fuel management,

environmental restoration, and waste management activities would

continue and be enhanced to meet current and anticipated spent nuclear

fuel management and waste handling needs. These enhanced activities,

related to acceptance of additional offsite-generated materials and

waste, would be needed to comply with applicable regulations and

agreements. Existing environmental restoration and waste management

facilities and projects would continue to operate. Waste generation

from onsite sources would increase, as a result of regulatory

[[Page 20981]] requirements and increased environmental restoration

activities. In addition to existing facilities and projects, projects

proposed under Alternative B for 1995 through 2005 would be implemented

to meet the current Idaho National Engineering Laboratory mission,

comply with negotiated agreements and commitments, and enhance cleanup.

Spent nuclear fuel, transuranic and mixed low level waste would be

received from other sites. These activities may be modified following

other evaluations currently underway, including proposed actions being

negotiated pursuant to Federal Facility Compliance (FFC) Act site

treatment plans, the Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact

Statement and other NEPA Reviews. Generally, the transuranic and mixed

low-level waste would be treated and returned to the site of origin

(generator) or transported to an approved offsite disposal facility,

depending on agreements to be negotiated under the FFC Act with the

State of Idaho, the Environmental Protection Agency, and with other

affected States. Plans would be developed for a high-level waste

treatment facility that would minimize resulting high-radioactivity

waste. Ongoing remediation and decommissioning and decontamination

projects would continue and additional projects would be constructed.
