SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is issuing a license amendment to
Princeton HealthCare System for
Materials License No. 29–06750–01, to
authorize release of its facility at
Princeton House Behavioral Health, 905
Herrontown Road in Princeton, New
Jersey for unrestricted use. NRC has
prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA) in support of this action in
accordance with the requirements of 10
CFR Part 51. Based on the EA, the NRC
has concluded that a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is
appropriate. The amendment will be
issued following the publication of this
Notice.
II. EA Summary
The purpose of the action is to
authorize the release of the licensee’s
facility at Princeton House Behavioral
Health, 905 Herrontown Road in
Princeton, New Jersey, for unrestricted
use. Princeton HealthCare System was
authorized by NRC from July 21, 1993,
to use radioactive materials at this site
for research and development involving
absorption, dilution, metabolism, and
excretion studies in humans, in
association with Bristol Myers Squibb.
In 1998, Princeton HealthCare System
ceased operations with licensed
materials at the Princeton House
Behavioral Health site, and in 2004
requested that NRC release the facility
for unrestricted use. Princeton
HealthCare System has conducted
surveys of the facility and determined
that the facility meets the license
termination criteria in Subpart E of 10
CFR Part 20.
The NRC staff has prepared an EA in
support of the license amendment. The
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
facility was remediated and surveyed
prior to the licensee requesting the
license amendment. The NRC staff has
reviewed the information and final
status survey submitted by Princeton
HealthCare System. Based on its review,
the staff has determined that there are
no additional remediation activities
necessary to complete the proposed
action. Therefore, the staff considered
the impact of the residual radioactivity
at the facility and concluded that since
the residual radioactivity meets the
requirements in Subpart E of 10 CFR
Part 20, a Finding of No Significant
Impact is appropriate.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The staff has prepared the EA
(summarized above) in support of the
license amendment to release the
facility at Princeton House Behavioral
Health, 905 Herrontown Road Way in
Princeton, New Jersey, for unrestricted
use. The NRC staff has evaluated
Princeton HealthCare System’s request
and the results of the surveys and has
concluded that the completed action
complies with the criteria in Subpart E
of 10 CFR Part 20. On the basis of the
EA, the NRC has concluded that the
environmental impacts from the action
are expected to be insignificant and has
determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
action.

including the application for the license
amendment and supporting
