Because the NI PEIS was published 13 years ago, the Department decided to conduct a supplement analysis of the NI PEIS to ascertain if there are significant new circumstances or new information relevant to environmental concerns which should be analyzed prior to implementing the 2001 decision. This NI PEIS SA (DOE/EIS–0310–SA– 02) was prepared in accordance with DOE’s NEPA Implementing Procedures at 10 CFR 1021.314. The relevant environmental aspects analyzed in the NI PEIS were re-analyzed, as necessary, with updated information. The Department also analyzed the alternatives which were evaluated in the NI PEIS, including any additional reasonable alternatives that may warrant analysis and consideration in the SA. The proposed action as analyzed in the NI PEIS has not changed except for the change in storage location of neptunium-237 (Np-237, the target material) from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee to the Materials and Fuels Complex at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in Idaho. After completing an earlier SA (DOE/EIS–0310–SA–01), the Department published an Amended Record of Decision for this change of storage location in August 2004 (69 FR 50180). After completing this SA, the Department has determined that the analysis contained in the NI PEIS, including the analysis of alternatives, is still valid. There are no significant new VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:46 Sep 13, 2013 Jkt 229001 circumstances or information relevant to environmental concerns which would warrant preparation of a supplement to the NI PEIS or a new EIS. Therefore, the Department reaffirms the decision made in the NI PEIS ROD (January 26, 2001; 66 FR 7877) for production of up to five kilograms of Pu-238 per year using the Advanced Test Reactor at INL and the High Flux Isotope Reactor at ORNL to irradiate Np-237 targets, and using the Radiochemical Engineering Development Center (REDC) at ORNL to fabricate Np-237 targets and isolate Pu238. The processing of Pu-238 into fuel pellets at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico and assembly and testing of radioisotope power systems (RPSs) at INL in existing facilities will continue as ongoing operations. The RPSs are used to support the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and national security missions. The NI PEIS SA, including the determination, has been posted on the DOE NEPA Web site at https:// energy.gov/nepa/supplement-analysessa, with internet links provided on the Office of Nuclear Energy (https:// energy.gov/ne/), Idaho Operations Office (https://www.id.energy.gov/insideNEID/ PublicInvolvement.htm), and Oak Ridge Office (https://www.oakridge.doe.gov/ external/) Web sites. Copies of the SA and the determination have been placed in the DOE public reading room(s) in Washington, DC; Idaho Falls, Idaho; and Oak Ridge, Tennessee; for a reasonable period of time. Copies may also be requested from Dr. Rajendra Sharma at the address provided above. Issued in Washington, DC, on September 10, 2013. Peter B. Lyons, Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy.
