DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Final Environmental Impact Statement for Programmatic Spent 
Nuclear Fuel Management and Idaho National Engineering Laboratory 
Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Programs

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is giving notice of the 
availability of the final environmental impact statement (EIS) for 
Programmatic Spent Nuclear Fuel Management and Idaho National 
Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Environmental Restoration and Waste 
Management Programs (DOE/EIS-0203). The final EIS was prepared in 
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act of 1969 (NEPA); Council on Environmental Quality regulations 
implementing NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508; and DOE NEPA Implementing 
Procedures, 10 CFR Part 1021. The final EIS addresses Department-wide 
spent nuclear fuel (SNF) management strategies for the transportation, 
receipt, storage, and processing of these fuels. In addition, the final 
EIS addresses proposed environmental restoration and waste management 
activities at the INEL. The Department of the Navy was a cooperating 
agency in preparing this EIS.
    Upon completion of general distribution of the document, DOE will 
file the final EIS with the Environmental Protection Agency, which will 
then publish a Notice of Availability in the Federal Register. The 
final EIS will also be 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 by June 1, 
1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    DOE issued a draft EIS for public comment and published a Notice of 
Availability in the Federal Register on June 24, 1994 (59 FR 32688). 
Thereafter, DOE held 33 public hearings in 20 cities across the nation 
in order to obtain public comments on the draft EIS. In addition, 
public comments were received by mail, a toll-free telephone line, and 
facsimile. More than 1,430 commentors, including a broad spectrum of 
private citizens, businesses, local, state and federal officials, 
Native American Tribes, and public interest groups, commented on the 
draft EIS. Comments are summarized in Volume 3 of the final EIS. DOE 
and Navy responses to those comments are also provided in Volume 3, as 
well as discussions of which comments resulted in changes to the EIS.
    Public comments on the draft EIS were assessed and considered both 
individually and collectively by DOE and the Navy. 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 communicated government policy, indicated that the comment was 
beyond the scope of the EIS, explained the relationship of this EIS to 
other related NEPA documents, referred commentors to information in the 
EIS, answered technical questions, or further explained technical 
issues.
    The final EIS, like the draft EIS, addresses the potential 
environmental impacts associated with alternatives for managing DOE 
spent nuclear fuel on a national level (Volume 1). The final EIS also 
addresses potential environmental impacts related to the management of 
solid, radioactive, mixed and hazardous wastes, spent nuclear fuel, and 
environmental restoration activities at the INEL (Volume 2). DOE 
conducted [[Page 20980]] these analyses as part of the decisionmaking 
process for: (1) Programmatic (nationwide) decisions regarding the 
management of DOE and Navy spent nuclear fuel; and (2) site-specific 
decisions regarding the future direction of the environmental 
restoration and waste management programs at the INEL. DOE's 
programmatic decisions will determine the locations for managing 
existing and projected quantities of spent nuclear fuel from now until 
the year 2035. DOE's site-specific decisions for INEL will determine 
how to manage environmental restoration and waste management activities 
and spent nuclear fuel during the next 10 years. DOE's objectives are 
to mitigate, through environmental restoration, the impacts of previous 
operations, and to treat, store, and dispose of waste at INEL in a safe 
and efficient manner.

Alternatives Considered

    Programmatic management alternatives for spent nuclear fuel 
discussed in Volume 1 include: Alternative 1, No Action--perform 
minimum activities required for safe and secure management at or close 
to the generation site or current storage location; Alternative 2, 
Decentralization--storage and stabilization of most spent nuclear fuel 
at or near the generation site with limited shipments from university 
and non-DOE facilities; Alternative 3, the 1992/1993 Planning Basis--
transport to and store newly generated spent nuclear fuel at INEL or 
the Savannah River Site and consolidate some existing spent nuclear 
fuel at INEL; Alternative 4, Regionalization--distribute existing and 
projected spent nuclear fuel among DOE sites based on fuel type or 
geographic location (an eastern regional site and a western regional 
site); and Alternative 5, Centralization--manage all existing and 
projected spent nuclear fuel at one site until ultimate disposition. 
Five DOE sites have been analyzed for roles in the management of DOE 
spent nuclear fuel: (1) the Hanford Site at Richland, Washington; (2) 
the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in southeastern Idaho; (3) 
the Savannah River Site in Aiken, South Carolina; (4) the Oak Ridge 
Reservation in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and (5) the Nevada Test Site near 
Mercury, Nevada. In addition, four Naval shipyards and the Kesselring 
site (near West Milton, New York) are being considered for management 
of Naval spent nuclear fuel only. The four Naval shipyards are: (1) 
Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia; (2) Portsmouth Naval 
Shipyard, Kittery, Maine; (3) Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, Honolulu, 
Hawaii; and (4) Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington.
    The INEL site-specific alternatives related to environmental 
restoration and waste management discussed in Volume 2 include: 
Alternative A, No Action--complete all identified near-term actions and 
continue to operate most existing facilities; Alternative B, the 10-
Year Plan--complete all identified actions and initiate new projects to 
enhance cleanup, manage laboratory wastes and spent nuclear fuel; 
Alternative C, Minimum Treatment, Storage, and Disposal--minimize 
treatment, storage and disposal activities to the extent possible, 
conduct minimum cleanup and decontamination and decommissioning 
activities prescribed by regulation and transfer spent nuclear fuel and 
waste from environmental restoration activities to another site; and 
Alternative D, Maximum Treatment, Storage, and Disposal--maximize 
treatment, storage and disposal functions at INEL to accommodate waste 
and spent nuclear fuel from the DOE complex and conduct maximum cleanup 
and decontamination and decommissioning.

Preferred Alternatives

    DOE's preferred alternatives are identified in the final EIS. The 
identification of the preferred alternatives for Volume 1 and Volume 2 
was based on consideration of environmental impacts, regulatory 
compliance, DOE and Navy spent nuclear fuel programmatic missions, 
Idaho National Engineering Laboratory environmental restoration and 
waste management programs, public comments, national security and 
defense, and cost.

Preferred Alternative for Programmatic Spent Fuel Management 
(Volume 1)

    The DOE's preferred alternative for programmatic spent nuclear fuel 
management is Regionalization-By-Fuel-Type (Alternative 4A). Under this 
alternative, aluminum clad fuel would be consolidated at the Savannah 
River Site, non-aluminum fuel (including spent nuclear fuel from the 
Fort Saint Vrain reactor in Colorado) would be consolidated at the 
Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, and defense production fuel 
would be retained at the Hanford Site.
    The Navy would continue to conduct refueling and defueling of 
nuclear-powered vessels and prototypes, and to transport spent nuclear 
fuel to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory for full examination 
at the Expended Core Facility and interim storage. Following 
examination, fuel would remain in storage at the Idaho National 
Engineering Laboratory. The DOE preferred alternative is consistent 
with the Navy's preferred alternative identified in the draft EIS.
    Under the preferred alternative, facility upgrades, replacements, 
and additions would be undertaken as necessary, and research and 
development activities would be conducted. Spent nuclear fuel 
processing might also occur. Other forms of stabilization might be 
needed to provide for safe storage and/or transport. Site-specific 
spent nuclear fuel management decisions will be made after further 
site-specific or project-specific NEPA evaluations, as appropriate, 
have been prepared.
    The final EIS also states that for planning purposes, DOE assumes 
that some or all of the SNF in its inventory that satisfies a geologic 
repository's acceptance criteria, could be placed in the first 
repository developed under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, as amended. 
While sufficient quantity and quality of information are still not 
available to determine whether the Yucca Mountain site is a suitable 
candidate for geologic disposal of SNF and high-level radioactive 
wastes, DOE is in the early planning stages of a repository EIS which 
will be prepared pursuant to the directives of the Nuclear Waste Policy 
Act, as amended. Until the repository EIS is complete, no final 
decision could be made concerning what DOE SNF would be accepted in a 
geologic repository.

Preferred Alternative for Environmental Restoration and Waste 
Management Programs at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory 
(Volume 2)

    The DOE's preferred alternative for INEL environmental restoration 
and waste management programs is the Ten Year Plan (Alternative B) 
enhanced to include elements from other alternatives. Under the 
preferred alternative, ongoing spent nuclear fuel management, 
environmental restoration, and waste management activities would 
continue and be enhanced to meet current and anticipated spent nuclear 
fuel management and waste handling needs. These enhanced activities, 
related to acceptance of additional offsite-generated materials and 
waste, would be needed to comply with applicable regulations and 
agreements. Existing environmental restoration and waste management 
facilities and projects would continue to operate. Waste generation 
from onsite sources would increase, as a result of regulatory 
[[Page 20981]] requirements and increased environmental restoration 
activities. In addition to existing facilities and projects, projects 
proposed under Alternative B for 1995 through 2005 would be implemented 
to meet the current Idaho National Engineering Laboratory mission, 
comply with negotiated agreements and commitments, and enhance cleanup.
    Spent nuclear fuel, transuranic and mixed low level waste would be 
received from other sites. These activities may be modified following 
other evaluations currently underway, including proposed actions being 
negotiated pursuant to Federal Facility Compliance (FFC) Act site 
treatment plans, the Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact 
Statement and other NEPA Reviews. Generally, the transuranic and mixed 
low-level waste would be treated and returned to the site of origin 
(generator) or transported to an approved offsite disposal facility, 
depending on agreements to be negotiated under the FFC Act with the 
State of Idaho, the Environmental Protection Agency, and with other 
affected States. Plans would be developed for a high-level waste 
treatment facility that would minimize resulting high-radioactivity 
waste. Ongoing remediation and decommissioning and decontamination 
projects would continue and additional projects would be constructed.
