Abstract: The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Office of
Innovation and Improvement (OII) has
developed an application package for
the new Investing in Innovation Fund
(i3) Program. Under this program, the
Department will use the application to
award three types of grants: Scale-Up
grants, Validation grants and
Development grants. The purpose of this
program is to provide competitive grants
to applicants with a record of improving
student achievement and attainment in
order to expand the implementation of,
and investment in, innovative practices
that are demonstrated to have an impact
on improving student achievement or
student growth, closing achievement
gaps, decreasing dropout rates,
increasing high school graduation rates,
and increasing college enrollment and
completion rates. These grants will
allow eligible entities to expand and
develop innovative practices that can
serve as models of best practices, allow
eligible entities to work in partnership
with the private sector and the
philanthropic community, and identify
and document best practices that can be
shared and taken to scale based on
demonstrated success.

Amended Record of Decision for the
Decommissioning of Eight Surplus
Production Reactors at the Hanford
Site, Richland, WA
Department of Energy.
Amended Record of Decision.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) is amending its initial Record of
Decision (ROD) issued September 16,
1993 (58 Federal Register (FR) 48509),
pursuant to the Final Environmental
Impact Statement on Decommissioning
of Eight Surplus Production Reactors at
the Hanford Site, Richland, WA
(Surplus Production Reactors Final EIS)
(DOE/EIS–0119F, December 1992). The
Surplus Production Reactors Final EIS
evaluated the potential environmental
impacts, benefits and costs, and
institutional and programmatic needs
associated with the decommissioning of
eight surplus production reactors at the
Hanford Site.
These reactors (B, C, D, DR, F, H, KE
and KW), operated between the years
1944 and 1971 and retired from service,
have been declared surplus by DOE, and
are available for decommissioning. The
1993 ROD documented DOE’s decision
to select safe storage followed by
deferred one-piece removal for
decommissioning of the eight surplus
production reactors. DOE has been
implementing the safe storage
component of this 1993 reactor
decommissioning ROD consistent with
the remedial action cleanup schedules
in the Hanford Federal Facility
Agreement and Consent Order (Tri-Party
Agreement, TPA). Through the Tri-Party
Agreement, DOE continues to evaluate
this decommissioning action in light of
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

As explained in this amended ROD,
DOE has decided to broaden the
decommissioning approach for these
eight reactors. DOE is retaining the
deferred one-piece removal option, as
selected in the 1993 ROD, and, based on
a recently prepared Supplement
Analysis, is adding an option for
immediate dismantlement.

Amended ROD are available

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In March 1989, DOE issued the Draft
Surplus Production Reactors EIS (DOE/
EIS–0119) to analyze alternatives for
decommissioning eight water-cooled,
graphite-moderated plutoniumproduction reactors, located along the
Columbia River in Washington State.
The eight reactors (B, C, D, DR, F, H, KE
and KW), operated between the years
1944 and 1971, have been retired from
service. The alternatives analyzed in the
Draft EIS included the no-action,
immediate one-piece removal, safe
storage followed by deferred one-piece
removal, safe storage followed by
deferred dismantlement, and in situ
decommissioning alternatives.
Comments received during the public
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and agency review process of the Draft
Surplus Production Reactors EIS did not
require the Department to modify any
alternatives, to develop and evaluate
any new alternatives, or to supplement,
improve, or modify its analyses of the
decommissioning alternatives.
Therefore, the Department prepared and
distributed an Addendum to the Draft
Surplus Production Reactors EIS in
accordance with 40 CFR 1503(c). The
Addendum (December 1992) stated
DOE’s response to issues raised by
commenters and minor changes to the
text. The Draft Surplus Production
Reactors EIS and the Addendum
constitute the Final EIS (DOE/EIS–
0119F) under the provisions of the
Council on Environmental Quality
regulations (40 CFR 1503.4(c)). The
Notice of Availability of the Final EIS
was published in the Federal Register
on January 15, 1993 (58 FR 4690).
As stated in the 1993 ROD, DOE
regards the safe storage followed by
deferred dismantlement, safe storage
followed by one-piece removal, and
immediate one-piece removal
alternatives as equally favorable based
solely on the evaluation of
environmental impacts. [Note that a
ninth reactor, N Reactor, was in
transition regarding its defense
production mission at the time of the
Surplus Production Reactor EIS, and
was not within the scope of the Final
Surplus Production Reactor EIS or ROD.
N Reactor has been retired and is
undergoing deactivation under
CERCLA.]
DOE uses the CERCLA process to
decommission and dismantle reactors
based on the joint EPA/DOE policy on
reactor decommissioning signed in 1995
and incorporated into the TPA. Since
the NEPA ROD in 1993, documentation
has been prepared and implemented
under CERCLA, resulting in placement
of five of the eight surplus reactors (C,
D, DR, F, and H) into interim safe
storage (ISS). [ISS, or ‘‘cocooning,’’ is the
process of demolishing all but the shield
walls surrounding the reactor core,
removing or stabilizing all loose
contamination within the facility, and
placing a new roof on the remaining
structure. A single doorway in the
structure is installed to provide access
for surveillance and maintenance work.
This doorway is welded shut, and all
other openings in the shield walls are
sealed to prevent intrusions and the
release of radioactive materials. The
facility is inspected every five years and
remotely monitored at all times for
changes in moisture and temperature.
The reactor cores could remain in ISS
for up to 75 years.] Of the remaining
three reactors, B Reactor is under
