Significant Impact (FONSI) is

II. Environmental Assessment
Background
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact.
The NFS facility in Erwin, Tennessee
is authorized, under License SNM–124
to manufacture high-enriched nuclear
reactor fuel. In addition, NFS is
authorized to blend highly enriched
uranium (HEU) with natural uranium
and manufacture low-enriched nuclear
reactor fuel. Currently, BPF is in a safeshutdown mode, in accordance with
Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) No.
02–06–003 dated March 18, 2006.
Operations in BPF were shut down
without the usual material processing/
clean-out that is required to be
undertaken as part of a measured
physical inventory. NFS is currently in
the process of conducting an operational
readiness review (ORR) which must be
reviewed and approved by NRC before
operations are restarted. This is
expected to occur on or before June 20,
2006. After operations are authorized,
the BPF must be operated for a
minimum of two weeks to process the
material to a form suitable for a
measurable physical inventory. NFS
requests that the inventory reporting
date be extended until 45 days after the
completion of the ORR and the
processing/inventory process clean out
resumes, the date of which is not now
specifically known.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) staff is considering the issuance
of a license amendment to Materials
License SNM–124, to Nuclear Fuel
Services, Inc. (NFS) (the licensee), to
grant a one-time exemption from the
May 2006 inventory results for strategic
special nuclear material in the Blended
Low-Enriched Uranium Preparation
Facility (BPF). The NRC has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) in
support of this amendment in
accordance with the requirements of 10
CFR part 51. Based on the EA, the NRC
has concluded that a Finding of No
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:12 May 25, 2006
Jkt 208001
The purpose of this EA is to assess the
environmental impacts of the proposed
license amendment. It does not approve
the request. This EA is limited to the
proposed exemption and any
cumulative impacts on existing plant
operations. The existing conditions and
operations for the Erwin facility were
evaluated by the NRC for environmental
impacts in a 1999 EA related to the
renewal of the NFS license (Ref. 1) and
a 2002 EA related to the first
amendment for the Blended LowEnriched Uranium (BLEU) Project (Ref.
2). The 2002 EA assessed the impact of
the entire BLEU Project, using
information available at that time. A
2003 EA (Ref. 3) and a 2004 EA (Ref. 4),
related to additional BLEU Project
amendments, confirmed the FONSI
issued in 2002. This assessment
presents information and analysis for
determining that the issuance of a
FONSI is appropriate and that an EIS
will not be prepared.

Proposed Action
The proposed action is to amend NRC
Materials License SNM–124 to grant a
one-time exemption from the physical
inventory deadline for strategic special
nuclear material in the BPF. The
exemption would authorize NFS to
submit the physical inventory results
after NRC has authorized the restart of
operations in the BPF and NFS has had
an opportunity to process the material
and complete the inventory. The
proposed action is limited to the
reporting deadline only. No change to
processing, packaging, or storage
operations is requested, and no
construction of new facilities is
requested.
Need for Proposed Action
The proposed action is being
requested because NFS had to secure
operations in the BPF to investigate an
upset condition. NFS has committed to
maintain the BPF in a safe-shutdown
mode until NRC authorizes restart of
operations. Regulations in 10 CFR
74.59(f)(1) require a physical inventory
of strategic special nuclear material
every six months. To comply with this
regulation, the material must be
processed into a form that can be
inventoried. Material in the BPF process
is not in a form that can be inventoried
and it cannot be processed into the
proper form until the restart of
operations is authorized.
Alternatives
The alternatives available to NRC are:
1. Approve the license amendment as
described; or
2. No action (i.e., deny the request).
Affected Environment
The affected environment for the
proposed action and the no action
alternative is the NFS site. The NFS
facility is located in Unicoi County,
Tennessee, about 32 km (20 mi)
southwest of Johnson City, Tennessee.
The facility is about 0.8 km (0.5 mi)
southwest of the Erwin city limits. The
affected environment is identical to the
affected environment assessed in the
2002 EA related to the first amendment
for the BLEU Project (Ref. 2). A full
description of the site and its
characteristics are given in the 2002 EA.
Additional information can be found in
the 1999 EA related to the renewal of
the NFS license (Ref. 1). The site
occupies about 28 hectares (70 acres).
The site is bounded to the northwest by
the CSX Corporation (CSX) railroad
property and the Nolichucky River, and
by Martin Creek to the northeast. The
plant elevation is about 9 m (30 ft)
