In addition to the activities above, the following actions could result from implementation of the Proposed Action: (1) fuel fabrication for a variety of fuel types in a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Category II facility; (2) HALEU-fueled reactor (demonstration and test, power, isotope production) operations; and (3) spent fuel storage and disposition. While not specifically a part of the Proposed Action, these activities are reasonably foreseeable and therefore acknowledged and addressed to the extent possible in the Draft HALEU EIS. While the Draft HALEU EIS provides information that could be used to identify impacts from the construction and operation of HALEU fuel cycle facilities, the selection of specific locations and facilities will not be a part of the Record of Decision for this EIS. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Preferred Alternative The Preferred Alternative is the Proposed Action, to acquire, through procurement from commercial sources, HALEU enriched to at least 19.75 and less than 20 weight percent U–235 over a 10-year period of performance, and to facilitate the establishment of commercial HALEU fuel production. The No Action Alternative would not implement the Proposed Action, leaving development of a domestic commercial supply of HALEU to industry or industry would remain reliant on foreign supplies of HALEU, contrary to Congressional direction under section 2001 of the Energy Act of 2020. Virtual Public Hearings DOE will host three interactive, virtual public hearings during the public comment period on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, at 6 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. ET, and 10 p.m. ET.
