Detroit Edison Company; FERMI 2;
Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
issuance of an exemption from Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR) Part 74, section 74.19(c), for
Facility Operating License No. NPF–43,
issued to Detroit Edison Company (the
licensee), for operation of Fermi 2,
located in Monroe County, Michigan.
Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21,
the NRC is issuing this environmental
assessment and finding of no significant
impact.

Environmental Assessment
Identification of the Proposed ACTION:
The proposed action would exempt
the licensee from the requirement in 10
CFR 74.19(c) to conduct a physical
inventory of all special nuclear material
(SNM) at intervals not to exceed 12
months. Specifically, the request is for
exemption from the physical inventory
requirements for those fuel assemblies
that are stored under the Holtec
Overhead Platforms (HOPs) when the
HOPs are installed in the spent fuel
racks.
The proposed action is in accordance
with the licensee’s application dated
April 27, 2007, as supplemented by
letter dated November 9, 2007.
The Need for the Proposed Action
The proposed action would allow the
licensee to not have to perform physical
inventory of fuel assemblies below the
HOPs when the HOPs are installed.
Therefore, the licensee would not have
to empty and remove the HOPs to
perform the annual SNM physical
inventory.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The NRC has completed its safety
evaluation of the proposed action and
concludes that exempting the licensee
from performing a physical inventory of
fuel assemblies under the HOPs when
the HOPs are installed is acceptable.
The details of the staff’s safety
evaluation will be provided in the
exemption that will be issued as part of
the letter to the licensee approving the
exemption to the regulation.
The proposed action will not
significantly increase the probability or
consequences of accidents. No changes
are being made in the types of effluents
that may be released off site. There is no
significant increase in the amount of
any effluent released off site. There is no
significant increase in occupational or
public radiation exposure. Therefore,
there are no significant radiological
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.
With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed
action does not have a potential to affect
any historic sites. It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no
other environmental impact. Therefore,
there are no significant non-radiological
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.
Accordingly, the NRC concludes that
there are no significant environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
action.

Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to the proposed
action, the staff considered denial of the
proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’
alternative). Denial of the application
would result in no change in current
environmental impacts. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and the alternative action are
similar.

any different resources than those
previously considered in the Final

Agencies and Persons Consulted
In accordance with its stated policy,
on December 4, 2007, the staff consulted
with the Michigan State official, Thor
Strong of the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality, Radiological
Protection Section, regarding the
environmental impact of the proposed
action. The State official had no
comments.
Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the environmental
assessment, the NRC concludes that the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Accordingly, the
NRC has determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed action.
For further details with respect to the
proposed action, see the licensee’s letter
dated April 27, 2007, as supplemented
by letter dated November 9, 2007. The
licensee requested that the enclosures to
