NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 70-3070]

 

Louisiana Energy Services, L.P.; Availability of the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Claiborne Enrichment Center, 
Homer, LA

    Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(the Commission) has published a Final Environmental Impact Statement 
(FEIS) (NUREG-1484) regarding the proposed construction and operation 
of the Claiborne Enrichment Center to be located near Homer, Louisiana. 
The FEIS describes and evaluates the potential environmental 
consequences of granting Louisiana Energy Services, L.P. (LES) a 
license to construct and operate a uranium enrichment facility. The 
facility would use the gaseous centrifuge enrichment process. Natural 
uranium hexafluoride would be used as the feed material, the product 
would be uranium hexafluoride enriched up to 5 percent in the isotope 
uranium-235. The FEIS concludes that adverse impacts associated with 
construction and operation of the facility are small and acceptable and 
are outweighed by the substantial socioeconomic benefits associated 
with plant construction and operation. The FEIS also documents the NRC 
Staff response to comments received on the Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement.
    The FEIS is available for public inspection and copying at the 
Commission's Public Document Room at the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street 
NW, Washington, DC and the Local Public Document Room at the Claiborne 
Parish Library, 901 Edgewood Drive, Homer, Louisiana.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Merri Horn, Enrichment Branch, 
Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Telephone (301) 415-8126.

    Dated at Rockville, MD, this 29th day of August 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
