Potential impacts were based on
processing 10 metric tons of HEU per
year at each facility.
The potential impacts would remain
similar to those analyzed in the HEU
EIS and Supplement Analysis. NNSA
expects that there would be changes
over time due to factors such as normal
population fluctuations among work
forces and in communities near the
involved facilities. These changes
would not create any significant new
circumstances or information related to
the proposed actions. Activities would
continue in existing, appropriately
licensed or approved facilities. Potential
environmental impacts would remain
small and within applicable regulatory
and other limits.
For AFS, which was not envisioned in
the HEU EIS, potential impacts of the
domestic program would be identical to
those associated with the ongoing HEU
disposition program. Prior to delivery to
a reactor, one or more commercial
nuclear fuel fabrication facilities would
accommodate the LEU for the AFS
reserve in its working inventory and
existing storage capacity. This activity
would be consistent with the facilities’
existing NRC operating licenses and
would not require additional
construction. In addition, as analyzed in
the Supplement Analysis, transportation
activities to provide LEU to foreign
reactors would add small potential
impacts associated with transfer
activities at the port of departure and
overseas shipments through the global
commons.
Disposal of certain HEU materials as
LLW would result in potential impacts
associated with transportation and
disposal. Nevada National Security Site
(NNSS) is the most likely disposal site
for this LLW. The HEU EIS included an
analysis of transporting 0.9 percent LEU
to NNSS for disposal. Without downblending, the low-equity HEU materials
would have a higher concentration of
uranium-235, but with approved
packaging and other required controls,
the potential impacts would be similar
to the transportation and disposal of 0.9
percent LEU at NNSS. DOE also has
analyzed transportation of low-level
radioactive wastes to NNSS in the
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Nevada Test Site and Off-Site Locations
in the State of Nevada (DOE/EIS–0243).
That EIS also included analysis of waste
disposal activities and resulted in a
ROD identifying the NNSS as available
for the disposal of LLW if it meets the
NNSS waste acceptance criteria (61 FR
65551, December 13, 1996). If NNSA
were to use a different facility for
disposal, the transportation impacts
would be similar to those associated

with use of NNSS (i.e., similar distances
and population distributions would be
involved), and disposal would occur in
existing, licensed facilities so that
impacts would be consistent with
approved operations at the facility.
Recognizing the potential for disposal at
other sites, the HEU EIS identified the
analysis of transportation impacts to
NNSS as representative of other possible
routes. In addition, DOE has analyzed
the transportation and disposal of LLW
in other NEPA analyses, including the
Waste Management Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement for
Managing Treatment, Storage, and
Disposal of Radioactive and Hazardous
Waste (DOE/EIS–0200, 1997).
Consistent with the decisions
announced in the ROD issued pursuant
to the HEU EIS (61 FR 40619; August 5,
1996), NNSA will continue ongoing
surplus HEU disposition program
activities. NNSA has decided to also
make the following changes to the HEU
disposition program:
(1) Implement the AFS, including
storage of LEU and, as needed,
transportation of the LEU by ship across
the ocean for use in foreign reactors.
(2) Dispose of certain HEU materials
as low-level radioactive waste without
prior down-blending if the materials
meet applicable waste acceptance
criteria.
(3) Increase the quantity of HEU
available for down-blending and
continue down-blending operations
beyond the 20 years anticipated in the
1996 HEU EIS.
NNSA will use all practicable means
to avoid or minimize environmental
harm when implementing the actions
described in this Amended ROD. NNSA
operates pursuant to a number of
Federal laws including environmental
laws, DOE Orders, and Federal, State,
and local controls and agreements. Also,
the commercial activities associated
with the down-blending, transportation,
and storage of HEU and LEU are
regulated by the NRC and the
Department of Transportation. Many of
these requirements mandate actions that
serve to mitigate potential adverse
environmental impacts.
For transactions that trigger the
requirements of section 3112(d) of the
United States Enrichment Corporation
Privatization Act, DOE will assess the
impact of a release from the AFS on the
domestic market, and will provide its
recommendation to the Secretary to
make the appropriate determination as
to whether the transfer will have an
adverse material impact on the domestic
