SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Action

DOE has prepared a draft EIS that analyzes policy issues and

potential environmental impacts of a proposal to adopt and implement a

policy for management of spent nuclear fuel from foreign research

reactors. More specifically, the proposed action is intended to reduce

the risk of diversion of highly enriched uranium for use in nuclear

weapons (by foreign nations, subnational groups, or terrorist

organizations) by reducing the amount of highly enriched uranium used

in civil programs worldwide. The proposed action is one action among

many being pursued by the United States to reduce the potential for the

proliferation of nuclear weapons. All of the spent nuclear fuel under

consideration contains uranium enriched in the United States, much of

it highly enriched uranium that could be used directly to make simple

nuclear weapons.

This draft EIS evaluates the potential environmental impacts that

could result from the proposed action, and from no action. The proposed

action could be implemented through any one of the three following

Management Alternatives considered in the draft EIS:

Management Alternative 1. Under this alternative foreign research

reactor spent nuclear fuel would be accepted and managed in the United

States. The implementation of Management Alternative 1 would include

the following components:

1. The policy duration would be 10 years, beginning on the date

that the policy would take effect, and would cover existing spent fuel

and additional spent fuel generated during the course of the policy

period. Actual shipments of the spent nuclear fuel could be made for a

period of 13 years after the policy would take effect.

2. The United States would bear the full cost for transporting and

managing the foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel received from

developing nations but would charge developed nations a competitive

fee.

3. A fixed amount of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel

containing uranium enriched in the United States would be eligible to

be accepted. Approximately 22,700 individual spent nuclear fuel

elements would be accepted, which represents the estimated inventories

of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel currently stored and

that which would be generated during the 10-year policy period.

4. DOE would take title to the foreign research reactor spent

nuclear fuel at the United States territorial waters limit, or United

States continental borders for shipments from Canada.

5. Marine transport of the foreign research reactor spent nuclear

fuel would be made by either chartered or regularly scheduled

commercial ships from foreign ports to the United States.

6. Under the proposed action, receipt of the foreign research

reactor spent nuclear fuel could occur through any of the following 10

ports of entry:

Charleston, South Carolina

Galveston, Texas

Jacksonville, Florida

Hampton Roads, Virginia (includes Newport News, Norfolk, and

Portsmouth terminals)

Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point, North Carolina

Naval Weapons Station, Concord, California

Portland, Oregon

Savannah, Georgia

Tacoma, Washington

Wilmington, North Carolina

Potential points of entry for Canadian spent fuel include Alexandria

Bay, New York and Sweetgrass, Montana.

7. Ground transport of casks containing foreign research reactor

spent nuclear fuel would be by either truck or rail or both from ports

of entry or Canadian border crossings to potential Department storage

sites, and for shipments between Department storage sites.

8. Sites for the potential receipt and management of foreign

research reactor spent nuclear fuel, along with existing and

foreseeable future inventories of DOE spent fuel, will be decided in

the Record of Decision for the Programmatic Spent Nuclear Fuel

Management and Idaho National Engineering Laboratory Environmental

Restoration and Waste Management Programs Environmental Impact

Statement. The sites being considered are the Savannah River Site, the

Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, the Hanford Site, the Oak Ridge

Reservation, and the Nevada Test Site. Since that decision has not been

made yet, this draft EIS contains an analysis of potential impacts at

all five of the candidate sites.

9. Storage of the foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel would

take place in existing facilities that use either wet or dry storage

technologies and in new dry storage facilities.

Seven implementation alternatives, which are variations of the

implementation components of Management Alternative 1, are also

considered. These are:

1. Alternative amounts of spent fuel that might be accepted, including

target material;

2. Alternative periods of time over which spent fuel might be accepted;

3. Alternative financing arrangements for foreign research reactors to

pay for the services that might be provided by the Department;

4. Alternative locations for the Department to take title to the spent

fuel;

5. Construction of new wet storage capacity, instead of new dry storage

capacity; [[Page 19901]]

6. Near-term chemical separation of the spent fuel in the United

States, as an alternative to long-term storage; and

7. Development work possibly leading to the construction and operation

of a new processing facility. The new processing facility would be used

to change the physical form of the spent fuel to make the uranium in it

less of a proliferation concern, and to produce a waste form that is

more suitable for geologic disposal.

Management Alternative 2. This alternative consists of action to

facilitate the management of foreign research reactor spent nuclear

fuel overseas. Under this alternative there are two subalternatives:

one is to provide assistance to foreign nations that are able to store

their spent nuclear fuel in their own countries, and the second is to

provide assistance in reprocessing their spent nuclear overseas under

conditions that would satisfy United States nuclear weapons

nonproliferation concerns, and in facilities operated under

international safeguards.

Management Alternative 3. This alternative is a hybrid alternative

formed from a combination of the implementation alternatives of

Management Alternative 1, or a combination of the implementation

components of Management Alternatives 1 and 2. An example hybrid

alternative that is representative of numerous hybrid alternatives that

could be chosen by the Department is analyzed in the draft

Environmental Impact Statement. This example consists of encouraging

the reprocessing of as much foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel

as possible at Western European reprocessing facilities, and accepting

the remainder of the foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel to be

managed in the United States by conventional chemical separation of the

aluminum based spent nuclear fuel in existing facilities at the

Savannah River Site and storage of the remaining spent fuel in existing

facilities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory.

No Action Alternative. In the No Action Alternative, the United

States would neither accept foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel

nor provide technical assistance or financial incentives for overseas

management. If no action were taken to adopt a policy to manage foreign

research reactor spent nuclear fuel, no environmental impacts would

occur in the United States. However, failure to accept spent nuclear

fuel would increase the amount of highly enriched uranium available in

civilian commerce and possibly encourage the proliferation of nuclear

weapons.

Decision Process

The Department will select a preferred alternative for management

of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel and will identify and

discuss that alternative, along with other reasonable alternatives, in

the final EIS. The Department will apply a formal decision process in

reaching a preferred alternative. This formal process will include

application of various criteria to discriminate among the alternatives.

Public comments on the draft EIS will be considered during development

of these criteria. The Department will consider the results of the

decision process leading to selection of the preferred alternative, and

any comments received on the final EIS, in development of the Record of

Decision. The final EIS is scheduled to be released in September 1995.

Public Hearings

Public hearings will be held to receive comments on the draft EIS;

to provide information to the public concerning the content of the EIS;

to receive comments on necessary or desirable attributes of foreign

research reactor spent fuel management to use in discriminating among

alternatives; and to respond to public questions on the analyses or the

EIS process. Individuals wishing to participate in the hearings are

encouraged to register in advance by contacting the telephone number

listed above under ``Hearing schedule and location''. Individuals

wishing to participate in the hearings are encouraged to provide DOE

with written copies of their comments.

Conduct of Hearings

An independent facilitator will open the hearings by explaining the

format to be followed. The hearings will be conducted in a manner that

is intended to foster a cordial, open and mutually beneficial dialog

between the participants and the DOE representatives. In the interests

of achieving that, the DOE personnel conducting the hearings may ask

clarifying questions regarding statements made at the hearings, will

(to the best of their abilities) answer questions asked by hearing

participants, and may comment on statements made by hearing

participants. Summaries of the discussions conducted during the

hearings will be prepared and made available at the DOE Reading Rooms

listed below.

Availability of Copies of the Draft EIS

The draft EIS is being distributed to interested Federal, State,

Indian Tribal, and local government agencies, and individuals

throughout the country, and to libraries, local planning offices, and

civic institutions in potentially affected areas. The draft EIS will

also be available for public review at the locations listed below.
