SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:52 Oct 06, 2006
Jkt 211001
issuance of a license amendment to
Byproduct Materials License No. 47–
00260–02. This license is held by Union
Carbide Corporation (the Licensee),
located at 3200 Kanawha Turnpike in
South Charleston, West Virginia.
Issuance of the amendment would
authorize release of Building B–747 and
an associated storage shed (together
identified herein as the Facility) at the
South Charleston site for unrestricted
use. The Licensee requested this action
in a letter dated August 3, 2006. The
NRC has prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) in support of this
proposed action in accordance with the
requirements of Title 10, Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 51 (10
CFR part 51). Based on the EA, the NRC
has concluded that a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is
appropriate with respect to the
proposed action. The amendment will
be issued to the Licensee following the
publication of this FONSI and EA in the
Federal Register.
II. Environmental Assessment
Identification of Proposed Action
The proposed action would approve
the Licensee’s August 3, 3006, license
amendment request, resulting in release
of the Facility for unrestricted use.
License No. 47–00260–02 was issued on
August 15, 1956, pursuant to 10 CFR
part 30, and has been amended
periodically since that time. This
license authorized the Licensee to use
unsealed hydrogen-3 (tritium) and
carbon-14, and various sealed sources,
for purposes of conducting research and
development activities on laboratory
bench tops and in hoods.
The Facility is situated on 600 acres
and is surrounded by multiple buildings
containing office space and laboratories.
The Facility is located in a commercial
area. Use of licensed materials occurred
throughout the Facility, an area totaling
1,536 square feet.
In 2001, the Licensee ceased licensed
activities within the Facility and
initiated a survey and decontamination
of the Facility. Based on the Licensee’s
historical knowledge of the site and the
conditions of the Facility, the Licensee
determined that only routine
decontamination activities, in
accordance with their NRC-approved,
operating radiation safety procedures,
were required. The Licensee was not
required to submit a decommissioning
plan to the NRC because worker cleanup
activities and procedures are consistent
with those approved for routine
operations. The Licensee conducted
surveys of the Facility and provided
information to the NRC to demonstrate
PO 00000
Frm 00103
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
that it meets the criteria in subpart E of
10 CFR part 20 for unrestricted release.
Need for the Proposed Action
The Licensee has ceased conducting
licensed activities in the Facility and
seeks the unrestricted use of the
Facility.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The historical review of licensed
activities conducted at the Facility
shows that such activities involved use
of the following unsealed radionuclides
with half-lives greater than 120 days:
tritium and carbon-14. Prior to
performing the final status survey, the
Licensee conducted decontamination
activities, as necessary, in the areas of
the Facility affected by these
radionuclides.
The Licensee conducted a final status
survey on July 27, 2006. The final status
survey report was attached to the
Licensee’s amendment request dated
August 3, 2006. The Licensee elected to
demonstrate compliance with the
radiological criteria for unrestricted
release as specified in 10 CFR 20.1402
by using the screening approach
described in NUREG–1757,
‘‘Consolidated NMSS Decommissioning
Guidance,’’ Volume 2. The Licensee
used the radionuclide-specific derived
concentration guideline levels (DCGLs),
developed there by the NRC, which
comply with the dose criterion in 10
CFR 20.1402. These DCGLs define the
maximum amount of residual
radioactivity on building surfaces,
equipment, and materials, and in soils,
that will satisfy the NRC requirements
in subpart E of 10 CFR part 20 for
unrestricted release. The Licensee’s
final status survey results were below
these DCGLs and are in compliance
with the As Low As Reasonably
Achievable (ALARA) requirement of 10
CFR 20.1402. The NRC thus finds that
the Licensee’s final status survey results
are acceptable.
Based on its review, the staff has
determined that the affected
environment and any environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
action are bounded by the impacts
evaluated by the ‘‘Generic
Environmental Impact Statement in
Support of Rulemaking on Radiological
Criteria for License Termination of NRCLicensed Nuclear Facilities’’ (NUREG–
1496) Volumes 1–3 (ML042310492,
ML042320379, and ML042330385). The
staff finds there were no significant
environmental impacts from the use of
radioactive material at the Facility. The
NRC staff reviewed the docket file
records and the final status survey
