Final Environmental Impact Statement on a Proposed Nuclear 
Weapons Nonproliferation Policy Concerning Foreign Research Reactor 
Spent Nuclear Fuel

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of State 
have completed the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on a 
Proposed Nuclear Weapons Nonproliferation Policy Concerning Foreign 
Research Reactor Spent Nuclear Fuel. The final EIS was prepared in 
compliance with requirements under the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality regulations 
implementing NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, and the DOE Implementing 
Procedures, 10 CFR Part 1021. The Department of State was a cooperating 
agency in preparing this EIS. The analyses demonstrate that the 
potential impacts on the environment, workers and the general public of 
implementing any of the alternative management approaches analyzed in 
the EIS would be small and within applicable Federal and state 
regulatory limits. The final EIS identifies the preferred alternative 
of the Departments of Energy and State for the management of foreign 
research reactor spent nuclear fuel.
    DOE has completed general distribution of the document to 
interested Members of Congress, appropriate Federal agencies, the 
Governors of affected states, leaders of affected Indian tribes, 
interested local and state public officials, and organizations and 
persons who are known to have an interest in the subjects addressed in 
the final EIS. DOE has filed the final EIS with the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA), which is also publishing a Notice of 
Availability in today's Federal Register. The final EIS is also 
available to the public in DOE reading rooms and designated information 
locations, which are identified in this notice. DOE plans to issue a 
Record of Decision on the final EIS no sooner than thirty days after 
EPA publishes a Notice of Availability of the EIS in the Federal 
Register.

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the final EIS and for further 
information on the final EIS should be directed to the Center for 
Environmental Management Information, P.O. Box 23769, Washington, D.C.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    DOE issued the draft Environmental Impact Statement on April 21, 
1995. The draft analyzed environmental impacts and policy issues 
associated with the proposed adoption and implementation of a policy 
for management of spent nuclear fuel from foreign research reactors. 
The public comment period on the draft EIS ran from April 21, 1995 to 
July 20, 1995. During this period, DOE held 17 public meetings in 16 
cities nationwide in order to obtain public comments on the draft EIS. 
The draft EIS was made available to the public by mailings to persons 
known to have expressed interest in reviewing the document, and by 
providing copies for public review at DOE Reading Rooms and other 
designated information locations. More than 1,250 commentors, including 
a broad spectrum of private citizens, organizations, local, state, and 
Federal officials, Native American Tribes, and public interest groups 
commented on the draft EIS. The public comments are contained in Volume 
3 of the final EIS. DOE and the Department of State responses to those 
comments are also provided in Volume 3, as well as a description of the 
changes made to the final EIS in response to the comments on the draft.
    The public comments on the draft EIS were considered both 
individually and collectively by the Department of State. Some comments 
resulted in modifications to the EIS. For other comments, DOE explained 
why a change to the EIS was not warranted. Most responses to such 
comments describe government policy, indicated that the comment refers 
to subjects beyond the scope of the EIS, explain the relationship of 
this EIS to other NEPA related documents, refer commentors to 
information in the EIS, answer technical questions, or further explain 
technical issues.
    The final EIS evaluates the potential impacts on the environment, 
workers, and the public that could result from the proposed action, 
which is to adopt a policy to manage spent nuclear fuel from foreign 
research reactors to support United States nuclear weapons 
nonproliferation policy. The analyses demonstrate that the potential 
impacts on the environment, workers and the general public of 
implementing any of the alternative management approaches analyzed in 
the EIS would be small and within applicable Federal and state 
regulatory limits.
    The goal of the proposed action is intended to reduce the risk of 
diversion of highly enriched uranium for use in nuclear weapons by 
reducing the amount of highly enriched uranium in international 
commerce. All the spent nuclear fuel under consideration contains 
uranium enriched in the United States, much of it highly enriched 
uranium. Highly enriched uranium can be used directly to make simple 
nuclear weapons.
    The proposed action has three Management Alternatives:
    Management Alternative 1. Under this alternative, foreign research 
reactor spent nuclear fuel which contains uranium enriched in the 
United States would be accepted and managed in the United States. 

[[Page 6984]]

    Management Alternative 2. This alternative consists of facilitating 
the management of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel overseas. 
This would require clear and binding agreements between the United 
States and one or more foreign governments to ensure compliance with 
United States nuclear weapons nonproliferation policy. Under this 
alternative there are two subalternatives: one is to provide in country 
assistance to foreign nations that are able to store spent nuclear fuel 
in their own countries, and the other is to provide assistance in 
reprocessing spent nuclear fuel overseas in facilities operated under 
international safeguards sufficient to satisfy United States nuclear 
weapons nonproliferation concerns.
    Management Alternative 3. This alternative is a combination of the 
implementation components of both Management Alternatives. An example 
hybrid alternative is evaluated in the EIS and involves encouraging the 
reprocessing of as much foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel as 
possible at Western European reprocessing facilities, and accepting the 
remainder of the foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel for 
management in the United States in existing facilities at the Savannah 
River Site and at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory.
    No Action Alternative. In the No Action Alternative, the United 
States would neither accept foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel 
nor provide technical assistance or financial incentives for overseas 
management. If no action were taken to adopt a policy to manage foreign 
research reactor spent nuclear fuel, no environmental impacts would 
occur in the United States. However, failure to accept spent nuclear 
fuel would increase the amount of highly enriched uranium available in 
civilian commerce.

Preferred Alternative

    The preferred alternative is for the United States to accept and 
manage U.S.-enriched foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel 
(slightly less than 20 metric tons) from forty-one countries. The spent 
fuel would be managed at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina 
(about 19 metric tons of aluminum-based spent fuel) and the Idaho 
National Engineering Laboratory (about 1 metric ton of non-aluminum-
based spent fuel). Spent fuel currently stored or to be generated 
within a ten-year period would qualify for acceptance; however, 
shipments of spent fuel generated during this ten year period could 
occur for an additional three years. The preferred ports of entry are 
the military ports of the Charleston Naval Weapons Station, South 
Carolina, and the Concord Naval Weapons Station, California.
