Significant Impact (FONSI) is appropriate and, therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will not be prepared. 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.

Ramsey, Project Manager, Fuel Cycle Facilities Branch, Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Mail Stop T–8F42, Rockville, MD. 20555–0001, Telephone (301) 415–7887; fax (301) 415–5955; e-mail kmr@nrc.gov. 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. PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30451 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) E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM 26MYN1
