Amended Record of Decision for the
Continued Operation of the Y–12
National Security Complex
National Nuclear Security
Administration, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Record of decision.
AGENCY:
The National Nuclear
Security Administration (NNSA), a
separately organized agency within the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is
amending its July 20, 2011, Record of
Decision for the Continued Operation of
the Y–12 National Security Complex
(2011 ROD) (76 FR 43319) to reflect its
decision to implement a revised
approach for meeting enriched uranium
(EU) requirements, by upgrading
existing EU processing buildings and
constructing a new Uranium Processing
Facility (UPF). Additionally, NNSA has
decided to separate the single-structure
UPF design concept into a new design
consisting of multiple buildings, with
each constructed to safety and security
requirements appropriate to the
building’s function. This revised
approach is a hybrid of two alternatives
previously analyzed in the 2011 Final
Site-Wide Environmental Impact
Statement for the Y–12 National
Security Complex, DOE/EIS–0387 (Y–12
SWEIS). The scope of this Amended
ROD is limited to actions which have
been found necessary to sustain Y–12’s
capability to conduct EU processing
operations in a safe and secure
environment. Those actions are also
addressed in a Supplement Analysis
(SA) (DOE/EIS–0387–SA–01), issued by
NNSA in April 2016. All other defense
mission activities and non-defense
mission activities conducted at Y–12
under the alternative selected for
implementation in the 2011 ROD are
outside the scope of this decision. As a
result of preparing the SA, NNSA has
determined that no further National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
analysis is needed to support this
Amended ROD.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information on this Amended
ROD, the SA, or to receive a copy of the
SA, contact: Ms. Pam Gorman, SA
Document Manager, U.S. Department of
Energy, National Nuclear Security
