exposures would be expected for any of
the seismic accident scenarios
evaluated. Further, the risk 1
assessments for these seismic accident
scenarios are bounded by those of other
severe accidents for all facilities
associated with EU operations at Y–12.
This conclusion has not changed as a
result of the new USGS seismic map for
the eastern Tennessee area. NNSA has
taken and will continue to take steps to
reduce the MAR administrative limits
for existing EU facilities to further
reduce the radiological consequences of
potential accidents.
Although land disturbance and visual
impacts would be slightly greater than
the analysis in the Y–12 SWEIS (due to
transmission line construction), those
impacts would not be significant.
The analysis in the SA indicates that
the potential environmental impacts of
the NNSA’s revised strategy would not
be significantly different or significantly
greater than those NNSA identified in
the Y–12 SWEIS. For the resource areas
analyzed, no differences or only minor
differences in potential environmental
impacts would be expected to result.
Detailed descriptions of these
differences are presented in Table 4–1 of
the SA. After comparing the analysis of
potential environmental impacts
associated with the proposed actions in
the SA to those analyzed in the Y–12
SWEIS, NNSA determined that
preparation of a supplemental or new
EIS is not warranted.
Based on the analysis in the SA,
NNSA’s revised strategy is not a
substantial change to the proposals
covered by the Y–12 SWEIS, nor does it
represent significant new circumstances
or information relevant to
environmental concerns, and is
adequately supported by existing NEPA
documentation, including the Y–12
SWEIS and additional NEPA analyses
(identified in Section 1.4 of the SA)
prepared to address specific activities at
Y–12. Thus, consistent with 10 CFR
1021.315(e), the existing 2011 ROD for
the Y–12 SWEIS can be amended, and
no further NEPA documentation is
required to implement the proposed
action at Y–12.

Environmentally Preferable Alternative
In the 2011 ROD, NNSA designated
the No Net Production/Capability-sized
UPF Alternative (Alternative 5) as the
environmentally preferable alternative.
NNSA believes that alternative is still
1 Although ‘‘risk’’ is a term that can be used to
express the general concept that an adverse effect
could occur, in DOE quantitative assessments it
refers to the numeric product of the probability and
consequences.

the environmentally preferable
alternative.
Amended Decision
NNSA has decided to continue to
operate Y–12 to meet the stockpile
stewardship mission critical activities
assigned to the site. NNSA will meet EU
requirements using the proposed action
described in Section 3.0 of the SA. That
proposed action is a hybrid approach of
upgrading existing EU buildings and
separating the single-structure UPF into
multiple buildings, with each
constructed to safety and security
requirements appropriate to the
building’s function.
Basis for Decision
National security policies continue to
require NNSA to maintain the nation’s
nuclear weapons stockpile, as well as its
core technical competencies and
capabilities. As was the case when
NNSA issued its Record of Decision for
the Y–12 SWEIS in 2011, NNSA’s
decisions are based on its mission
responsibilities and its need to sustain
Y–12’s ability to operate in a manner
that allows it to fulfill its
responsibilities in an environmentally
sound, timely, and fiscally prudent
manner. NNSA continues to require Y–
12 EU processing facilities to provide
reliable, long-term enriched uranium
processing capability with modern
technologies and equipment, improved
security posture for Special Nuclear
Material; reduced accident risks;
improved health and safety for workers
and the public; improved operational
efficiency; and reduction in the cost of
operating and maintaining key facilities.
This amended decision will enable
NNSA to maintain the required
expertise and capabilities to deliver
uranium products while modernizing
production facilities. This amended
decision will also avoid many of the
safety risks of operating aged buildings
and equipment by relocating processes
that cannot be sustained in existing,
enduring buildings. It will also allow
NNSA to reduce the risks of EU
operations through process
improvements enabled by NNSA’s
investments in developing new
technologies to apply in Y–12 facilities.
Through an extended life program,
mission-critical existing and enduring
buildings and infrastructure will be
maintained and/or upgraded, further
enhancing safety and security at the Y–
12 site.
Mitigation Measures
Y–12 will continue to operate in
compliance with environmental laws,
regulations, policies, and within a
PO 00000

framework of contractual requirements.
In the 2011 ROD, NNSA adopted the
measures identified in the 2011 Y–12
SWEIS, to avoid, minimize and mitigate
environmental impacts from the
Capability-sized UPF Alternative
(Alternative 4). NNSA will continue to
impose contractual requirements for
actions necessary to comply with the
identified mitigation measures.
Additionally, as a result of
consultations with the USFWS, NNSA
is extending by one month the time
frame for tree cutting restrictions,
established for the protection of roosting
and swarming bats. These contractually
required restrictions will now remain in
effect annually from March 31st through
November 15th.
