SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Action

    DOE has prepared a draft EIS that analyzes policy issues and 
potential environmental impacts of a proposal to adopt and implement a 
policy for management of spent nuclear fuel from foreign research 
reactors. More specifically, the proposed action is intended to reduce 
the risk of diversion of highly enriched uranium for use in nuclear 
weapons (by foreign nations, subnational groups, or terrorist 
organizations) by reducing the amount of highly enriched uranium used 
in civil programs worldwide. The proposed action is one action among 
many being pursued by the United States to reduce the potential for the 
proliferation of nuclear weapons. All of the spent nuclear fuel under 
consideration contains uranium enriched in the United States, much of 
it highly enriched uranium that could be used directly to make simple 
nuclear weapons.
    This draft EIS evaluates the potential environmental impacts that 
could result from the proposed action, and from no action. The proposed 
action could be implemented through any one of the three following 
Management Alternatives considered in the draft EIS:
    Management Alternative 1. Under this alternative foreign research 
reactor spent nuclear fuel would be accepted and managed in the United 
States. The implementation of Management Alternative 1 would include 
the following components:
    1. The policy duration would be 10 years, beginning on the date 
that the policy would take effect, and would cover existing spent fuel 
and additional spent fuel generated during the course of the policy 
period. Actual shipments of the spent nuclear fuel could be made for a 
period of 13 years after the policy would take effect.
    2. The United States would bear the full cost for transporting and 
managing the foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel received from 
developing nations but would charge developed nations a competitive 
fee.
    3. A fixed amount of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel 
containing uranium enriched in the United States would be eligible to 
be accepted. Approximately 22,700 individual spent nuclear fuel 
elements would be accepted, which represents the estimated inventories 
of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel currently stored and 
that which would be generated during the 10-year policy period.
    4. DOE would take title to the foreign research reactor spent 
nuclear fuel at the United States territorial waters limit, or United 
States continental borders for shipments from Canada.
    5. Marine transport of the foreign research reactor spent nuclear 
fuel would be made by either chartered or regularly scheduled 
commercial ships from foreign ports to the United States.
    6. Under the proposed action, receipt of the foreign research 
reactor spent nuclear fuel could occur through any of the following 10 
ports of entry:

 Charleston, South Carolina
 Galveston, Texas
 Jacksonville, Florida
 Hampton Roads, Virginia (includes Newport News, Norfolk, and 
Portsmouth terminals)
 Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point, North Carolina
 Naval Weapons Station, Concord, California
 Portland, Oregon
 Savannah, Georgia
 Tacoma, Washington
 Wilmington, North Carolina
Potential points of entry for Canadian spent fuel include Alexandria 
Bay, New York and Sweetgrass, Montana.

    7. Ground transport of casks containing foreign research reactor 
spent nuclear fuel would be by either truck or rail or both from ports 
of entry or Canadian border crossings to potential Department storage 
sites, and for shipments between Department storage sites.
    8. Sites for the potential receipt and management of foreign 
research reactor spent nuclear fuel, along with existing and 
foreseeable future inventories of DOE spent fuel, will be decided in 
the Record of Decision for the Programmatic Spent Nuclear Fuel 
Management and Idaho National Engineering Laboratory Environmental 
Restoration and Waste Management Programs Environmental Impact 
Statement. The sites being considered are the Savannah River Site, the 
Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, the Hanford Site, the Oak Ridge 
Reservation, and the Nevada Test Site. Since that decision has not been 
made yet, this draft EIS contains an analysis of potential impacts at 
all five of the candidate sites.
    9. Storage of the foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel would 
take place in existing facilities that use either wet or dry storage 
technologies and in new dry storage facilities.
    Seven implementation alternatives, which are variations of the 
implementation components of Management Alternative 1, are also 
considered. These are:

1. Alternative amounts of spent fuel that might be accepted, including 
target material;
2. Alternative periods of time over which spent fuel might be accepted;
3. Alternative financing arrangements for foreign research reactors to 
pay for the services that might be provided by the Department;
4. Alternative locations for the Department to take title to the spent 
fuel;
5. Construction of new wet storage capacity, instead of new dry storage 
capacity; [[Page 19901]] 
6. Near-term chemical separation of the spent fuel in the United 
States, as an alternative to long-term storage; and
7. Development work possibly leading to the construction and operation 
of a new processing facility. The new processing facility would be used 
to change the physical form of the spent fuel to make the uranium in it 
less of a proliferation concern, and to produce a waste form that is 
more suitable for geologic disposal.

    Management Alternative 2. This alternative consists of action to 
facilitate the management of foreign research reactor spent nuclear 
fuel overseas. Under this alternative there are two subalternatives: 
one is to provide assistance to foreign nations that are able to store 
their spent nuclear fuel in their own countries, and the second is to 
provide assistance in reprocessing their spent nuclear overseas under 
conditions that would satisfy United States nuclear weapons 
nonproliferation concerns, and in facilities operated under 
international safeguards.
    Management Alternative 3. This alternative is a hybrid alternative 
formed from a combination of the implementation alternatives of 
Management Alternative 1, or a combination of the implementation 
components of Management Alternatives 1 and 2. An example hybrid 
alternative that is representative of numerous hybrid alternatives that 
could be chosen by the Department is analyzed in the draft 
Environmental Impact Statement. This example consists of 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 to be 
managed in the United States by conventional chemical separation of the 
aluminum based spent nuclear fuel in existing facilities at the 
Savannah River Site and storage of the remaining spent fuel in existing 
facilities 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 and possibly encourage the proliferation of nuclear 
weapons.

Decision Process

    The Department will select a preferred alternative for management 
of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel and will identify and 
discuss that alternative, along with other reasonable alternatives, in 
the final EIS. The Department will apply a formal decision process in 
reaching a preferred alternative. This formal process will include 
application of various criteria to discriminate among the alternatives. 
Public comments on the draft EIS will be considered during development 
of these criteria. The Department will consider the results of the 
decision process leading to selection of the preferred alternative, and 
any comments received on the final EIS, in development of the Record of 
Decision. The final EIS is scheduled to be released in September 1995.

Public Hearings

    Public hearings will be held to receive comments on the draft EIS; 
to provide information to the public concerning the content of the EIS; 
to receive comments on necessary or desirable attributes of foreign 
research reactor spent fuel management to use in discriminating among 
alternatives; and to respond to public questions on the analyses or the 
EIS process. Individuals wishing to participate in the hearings are 
encouraged to register in advance by contacting the telephone number 
listed above under ``Hearing schedule and location''. Individuals 
wishing to participate in the hearings are encouraged to provide DOE 
with written copies of their comments.

Conduct of Hearings

    An independent facilitator will open the hearings by explaining the 
format to be followed. The hearings will be conducted in a manner that 
is intended to foster a cordial, open and mutually beneficial dialog 
between the participants and the DOE representatives. In the interests 
of achieving that, the DOE personnel conducting the hearings may ask 
clarifying questions regarding statements made at the hearings, will 
(to the best of their abilities) answer questions asked by hearing 
participants, and may comment on statements made by hearing 
participants. Summaries of the discussions conducted during the 
hearings will be prepared and made available at the DOE Reading Rooms 
listed below.
