DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Final Environmental Impact Statement on a Proposed Nuclear

Weapons Nonproliferation Policy Concerning Foreign Research Reactor

Spent Nuclear Fuel

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of State

have completed the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on a

Proposed Nuclear Weapons Nonproliferation Policy Concerning Foreign

Research Reactor Spent Nuclear Fuel. The final EIS was prepared in

compliance with requirements under the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality regulations

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

Procedures, 10 CFR Part 1021. The Department of State was a cooperating

agency in preparing this EIS. The analyses demonstrate that the

potential impacts on the environment, workers and the general public of

implementing any of the alternative management approaches analyzed in

the EIS would be small and within applicable Federal and state

regulatory limits. The final EIS identifies the preferred alternative

of the Departments of Energy and State for the management of foreign

research reactor spent nuclear fuel.

DOE has completed general distribution of the document to

interested Members of Congress, appropriate Federal agencies, the

Governors of affected states, leaders of affected Indian tribes,

interested local and state public officials, and organizations and

persons who are known to have an interest in the subjects addressed in

the final EIS. DOE has filed the final EIS with the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA), which is also publishing a Notice of

Availability in today's Federal Register. The final EIS is also

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 no sooner than thirty days after

EPA publishes a Notice of Availability of the EIS in the Federal

Register.

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the final EIS and for further

information on the final EIS should be directed to the Center for

Environmental Management Information, P.O. Box 23769, Washington, D.C.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

DOE issued the draft Environmental Impact Statement on April 21,

1995. The draft analyzed environmental impacts and policy issues

associated with the proposed adoption and implementation of a policy

for management of spent nuclear fuel from foreign research reactors.

The public comment period on the draft EIS ran from April 21, 1995 to

July 20, 1995. During this period, DOE held 17 public meetings in 16

cities nationwide in order to obtain public comments on the draft EIS.

The draft EIS was made available to the public by mailings to persons

known to have expressed interest in reviewing the document, and by

providing copies for public review at DOE Reading Rooms and other

designated information locations. More than 1,250 commentors, including

a broad spectrum of private citizens, organizations, local, state, and

Federal officials, Native American Tribes, and public interest groups

commented on the draft EIS. The public comments are contained in Volume

3 of the final EIS. DOE and the Department of State responses to those

comments are also provided in Volume 3, as well as a description of the

changes made to the final EIS in response to the comments on the draft.

The public comments on the draft EIS were considered both

individually and collectively by the Department of State. 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 describe government policy, indicated that the comment refers

to subjects beyond the scope of the EIS, explain the relationship of

this EIS to other NEPA related documents, refer commentors to

information in the EIS, answer technical questions, or further explain

technical issues.

The final EIS evaluates the potential impacts on the environment,

workers, and the public that could result from the proposed action,

which is to adopt a policy to manage spent nuclear fuel from foreign

research reactors to support United States nuclear weapons

nonproliferation policy. The analyses demonstrate that the potential

impacts on the environment, workers and the general public of

implementing any of the alternative management approaches analyzed in

the EIS would be small and within applicable Federal and state

regulatory limits.

The goal of the proposed action is intended to reduce the risk of

diversion of highly enriched uranium for use in nuclear weapons by

reducing the amount of highly enriched uranium in international

commerce. All the spent nuclear fuel under consideration contains

uranium enriched in the United States, much of it highly enriched

uranium. Highly enriched uranium can be used directly to make simple

nuclear weapons.

The proposed action has three Management Alternatives:

Management Alternative 1. Under this alternative, foreign research

reactor spent nuclear fuel which contains uranium enriched in the

United States would be accepted and managed in the United States.

[[Page 6984]]

Management Alternative 2. This alternative consists of facilitating

the management of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel overseas.

This would require clear and binding agreements between the United

States and one or more foreign governments to ensure compliance with

United States nuclear weapons nonproliferation policy. Under this

alternative there are two subalternatives: one is to provide in country

assistance to foreign nations that are able to store spent nuclear fuel

in their own countries, and the other is to provide assistance in

reprocessing spent nuclear fuel overseas in facilities operated under

international safeguards sufficient to satisfy United States nuclear

weapons nonproliferation concerns.

Management Alternative 3. This alternative is a combination of the

implementation components of both Management Alternatives. An example

hybrid alternative is evaluated in the EIS and involves 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 for

management in the United States in existing facilities at the Savannah

River Site and 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.

Preferred Alternative

The preferred alternative is for the United States to accept and

manage U.S.-enriched foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel

(slightly less than 20 metric tons) from forty-one countries. The spent

fuel would be managed at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina

(about 19 metric tons of aluminum-based spent fuel) and the Idaho

National Engineering Laboratory (about 1 metric ton of non-aluminum-

based spent fuel). Spent fuel currently stored or to be generated

within a ten-year period would qualify for acceptance; however,

shipments of spent fuel generated during this ten year period could

occur for an additional three years. The preferred ports of entry are

the military ports of the Charleston Naval Weapons Station, South

Carolina, and the Concord Naval Weapons Station, California.

Availability of Copies of the Final EIS
