SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is considering renewal of
Facility Operating License No. R–103,
held by the Curators of the University of
Missouri, which would authorize
continued operation of its reactor for 20
years from date of issuance, located in
the University Research Park, Columbia,
Boone County, Missouri. As required by
section 51.21 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Criteria
for and identification of licensing and
regulatory actions requiring
environmental assessments,’’ the NRC
staff prepared an EA documenting its
environmental review. Based on the
results of the EA that follows, the NRC
has determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed renewed license is not
required and is issuing a FONSI in
accordance with 10 CFR 51.32.
II. Environmental Assessment
Facility Site and Environs
The MURR facility is located on 7.5
acres of land in the central portion of
PO 00000
Frm 00105
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the 84-acre University Research Park in
Boone County. Boone County is located
in the central part of the state and
consists of an area of approximately 683
square miles (1,769 square km) and is
approximately 41 miles (66 km) in its
greatest north-to-south length and 22
miles (35.4 km) in its greatest east-towest width. The University Research
Park is an extension of the University of
Missouri-Columbia, main campus and is
located approximately 1.6 kilometers (1
mile) southwest of the main campus.
The MURR facility includes a five-story
reactor containment building which is
centrally located and integrated into a
one-story laboratory building.
Immediately surrounding the MURR
facility are other research buildings and
parking lots associated with the
University Research Park. Facilities
beyond the University Research Park
include a golf course to the west;
campus sports arenas and fields to the
northeast, east, and south; and the
University’s main campus. The City of
Columbia is to the north. There are few
permanent residences nearby with only
225 persons living within 1 kilometer
(0.6 miles) of the MURR facility. The
nearest permanent residence is located
approximately 760 meters (0.5 miles)
north of the site. The nearest
dormitories are located approximately 1
kilometer (0.6 miles) from the MURR
facility. The MURR is a tank-type
(pressure vessel) reactor where the tank
is located in an open pool. The reactor
is light water moderated and cooled. It
is licensed to operate at a maximum
thermal steady state power level of 10
megawatts (MWt). The reactor core is
located in a pressure vessel within the
lined reactor pool. The reactor pool is 3
meters (10 feet) in diameter and 9
meters (30 feet) deep. The reactor is
fueled with highly-enriched uranium
plate-type fuel contained in eight fuel
elements. A detailed description of the
reactor can be found in the MURR safety
analysis report (SAR). There have been
no major modifications to the MURR
since issuance of Operating License
Amendment No. 2 on July 9, 1974,
which authorized the MURR to operate
at its current power level. However, the
facility has added several laboratories
and hot cells over the intervening time
period in order to conduct research
activities. A complete description of
these changes will be provided in the
NRC staff’s safety evaluation report
(SER) accompanying the issuance of the
renewed license.
Description of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would renew
Facility Operating License No. R–103
for an additional 20 years from the date
