SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is considering renewal of Facility License No. R-70, held
by the UMD, which would authorize continued operation of the MUTR,
located in College Park, Prince George's County, Maryland. Therefore,
as required by section 51.21 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Criteria for and identification of licensing
and regulatory actions requiring environmental assessments,'' the NRC
performed an EA. Based on the results of the EA that follows, the NRC
has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the
renewed license and is issuing a FONSI. The renewed license will be
issued following the publication of this notice.
II. Environmental Assessment
Description of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would renew Facility License No. R-70 for a
period of 20 years from the date of issuance of the renewed license.
The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee's application
dated May 12, 2000, as supplemented by letters dated June 7, August 4,
September 17, and October 7, 2004; April 18, 2005; April 25, (two
letters), August 28 (two letters), September 7, November 9, and
December 18, 2006; May 27, July 28, and September 22, 2010; January 31,
February 2, May 2, July 5, July 29, September 26, September 28, and
October 12, 2011; February 9, March 14, May 22, and August 29, 2012;
March 21, 2013; April 10, June 18, and November 25 (two letters), 2014;
December 2, 2015; and January 5, February 18, February 29, and November
17, 2016. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.109, ``Effect of timely renewal
application,'' the existing license remains in effect until the NRC
takes final action on the renewal application.
Need for the Proposed Action
The proposed action is needed to allow the continued operation of
the MUTR to routinely provide teaching, research, and services to
numerous institutions for a period of 20 years.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action
The NRC is preparing its safety evaluation (SE) of the proposed
action to issue a renewed Facility Operating License No. R-70 to allow
continued operation of the MUTR for a period of 20 years and concludes
there is reasonable assurance that the MUTR will continue to operate
safely for the additional period of time. The details of the NRC
staff's SE will be provided with the renewed license that will be
issued as part of the letter to the licensee approving its license
renewal application. This document contains the EA of the proposed
action.
The MUTR is located on the northeastern quadrant of UMD campus in a
dedicated building connected to the Chemical and Nuclear Engineering
Building. The reactor is housed in a building constructed primarily of
concrete, brick, and steel which serves as a confinement. The reactor
site comprises the reactor building and a small area immediately
surrounding it. Adjacent to the reactor site are three buildings: The
J.M. Patterson Building; the Asphalt Institute, and the Animal and
Avian Sciences building. The nearest permanent residences are located
approximately 370 meters (1,200 feet) from the site boundary. The
nearest dormitories are located approximately 230 meters (750 feet)
from the reactor.
The MUTR is a light water open pool type reactor licensed for a
maximum 250 kilowatt (thermal) steady state power using low-enriched
uranium (less than 20 percent) TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotope
Production, General Atomics) fuel. The reactor is not licensed to
operate in a pulse mode. The
[[Page 93970]]
fuel is located at the bottom of an aluminum tank with a volume of
approximately 22,700 liters (6,000 gallons) and a depth of 6.5 meters
(21.25 feet). The pool tank is surrounded by at least 2.0 meters (6.5
feet) of concrete and 0.6 meters (2 feet) of water. A detailed
description of the reactor can be found in the MUTR Safety Analysis
Report (SAR).
The licensee has not requested any changes to the facility design
or operating conditions as part of the application for license renewal.
No changes are being made in the types or quantities of effluents that
may be released off site. The licensee has systems in place for
controlling the release of radiological effluents and implements a
radiation protection program to monitor personnel exposures and
releases of radioactive effluents. As discussed in the NRC staff's SE,
the systems and radiation protection program are appropriate for the
types and quantities of effluents expected to be generated by continued
operation of the reactor. Accordingly, there would be no increase in
routine occupational or public radiation exposure as a result of
license renewal. A separate SE to determine the probability and
consequence of accidents of the proposed action is being drafted by NRC
staff. If the NRC staff concludes in the SE that the probability and
consequence of accidents are within NRC requirements, then the proposed
license renewal will not have a significant environmental impact with
respect to accidents.
Therefore, with the exception of the impacts associated with
accidents which the NRC staff is evaluating separately from this EA,
license renewal would not change the environmental impact of facility
operation. The NRC staff evaluated information contained in the
licensee's application and data reported to the NRC by the licensee for
the last 5 years of operation to determine the projected radiological
impact of the facility on the environment during the period of the
renewed license. The NRC staff found that releases of radioactive
material and personnel exposures were all well within applicable
regulatory limits. Based on this evaluation, the NRC staff concluded
that continued operation of the reactor would not have a significant
environmental impact.
A. Radiological Impacts
Environmental Effects of Reactor Operations
Gaseous radioactive effluents are discharged by the facility
exhaust system via vents located on the roof of the reactor building,
through a rollup door, and personnel door located on the north side of
the facility. The current primary path for gaseous effluents is through
those two doors. The only significant nuclide found in the gaseous
effluent stream is argon-41. The licensee estimates argon-41 releases
from a calculated release of argon-41 based on hours of reactor
operation. Licensee calculations indicate that annual argon-41 releases
result in an offsite concentration of argon-41 which is below the limit
of 1.0E-8 microcuries per milliliter specified in 10 CFR part 20,
Appendix b, ``Annual Limits on Intake (ALIs) and Derived Air
Concentrations (DACs) of Radionuclides for Occupational Exposure;
Effluent Concentrations; Concentrations for Release to Sewerage,'' for
air effluent releases. The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's
calculations and found them to be reasonable. Total gaseous radioactive
releases reported to the NRC in the licensee's annual reports were less
than the air effluent concentration limits set by 10 CFR part 20,
Appendix b. The potential radiation dose to a member of the general
public resulting from this concentration is less than 2 millirem (0.02
milliSieverts) and complies with the dose limit of 100 millirem (1
milliSievert) set by 10 CFR 20.1301, ``Dose limits for individual
members of the public.'' Additionally, this potential radiation dose
complies with the air emissions dose constraint of 0.1 milliSievert (10
millirem) specified in 10 CFR 20.1101(d).
The licensee disposes of liquid radioactive wastes by discharge to
the sanitary sewer, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR
20.2003(a). During the past 5 years, the licensee has reported in its
annual reports, no routine releases of liquid radioactive waste. No
significant solid low-level radioactive waste was generated at the
MUTR. According to the licensee, no spent nuclear fuel has been shipped
from the site to date. To comply with the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of
1982, UMD has entered into a contract with the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) that provides that DOE retains title to the fuel utilized
at the MUTR and that DOE is obligated to take the fuel from the site
for final disposition.
Data reported to the NRC by the licensee shows that personnel
exposures are well within the total effective dose equivalent limit of
5,000 millirem (50 milliSievert) set by 10 CFR 20.1201, ``Occupational
dose limits for adults,'' and as low as reasonably achievable. Fixed
mounted dosimeters are mounted on the east and west exterior walls of
the reactor building and provide gross quarterly readings (not adjusted
for background) of total radiation exposures at those locations. These
dosimeters typically measure average annual doses of approximately 87
millirem (0.87 milliSievert). No changes in reactor operation that
would lead to an increase in occupational dose are expected as a result
of the proposed action.
The licensee conducts an environmental monitoring program to record
and track the radiological impact of MUTR operation on the surrounding
unrestricted area. The program consists of quarterly exposure
measurements at four locations on the site boundary and at two control
locations away from any direct influence from the reactor. The
Radiation Protection Officer administers the program and maintains the
appropriate records. Over the past 5 years, the survey program
indicated that radiation exposures at the monitoring locations were not
significantly higher than those measured at the control locations.
Year-to-year trends in exposures are consistent between monitoring
locations. Also, no correlation exists between total annual reactor
operation and annual exposures measured at the monitoring locations.
Based on the NRC staff's review of the past 5 years of the
licensee's annual reports, the NRC staff concludes that continued
operation of the MUTR would not have a significant radiological impact
on the surrounding environment. No changes in reactor operation that
would affect off-site radiation levels are expected as a result of
license renewal.
Environmental Effects of Accidents
Accident scenarios are discussed in Chapter 13 of the MUTR SAR. The
maximum hypothetical accident is the uncontrolled release of the
gaseous fission products contained in the gap between the fuel and the
fuel cladding in one fuel element to the reactor confinement and into
the environment. The licensee conservatively calculated doses to
facility personnel, the maximum potential dose to a member of the
public, and the dose at the nearest residence. The NRC staff checked
the licensee's calculations to verify that the doses represent
conservative estimates for the maximum hypothetical accident.
Occupational doses resulting from this accident would be 12 millirem
(0.12 milliSievert), below the 10 CFR part 20, ``Standards for
Protection Against Radiation,'' annual limit of 5,000 millirem (50
mSievert). Maximum doses for members of the public resulting from this
accident would be 99 millirem (0.99 mSievert), below the 10 CFR part 20
[[Page 93971]]
annual limit of 100 millirem (1.0 mSievert). The proposed action will
not increase the probability or consequences of accidents.
B. Non-Radiological Impacts
The MUTR core is located near the bottom of the reactor pool. The
pool contains approximately 22.7 m\3\ (6,000 gallons) of water which
acts as a coolant for the reactor core and provides a large heat sink.
The water in the pool is cooled by a primary cooling system consisting
of a primary pump, a heat exchanger, a filtration and demineralizer
water processing system, and associated piping. Cooling of the reactor
core is by natural convection of the water through the reactor core.
The water enters the cooling channels at the bottom of the core, warms
as heat from the fission process is transferred to the water, and rises
out of the core and into the bulk pool water. The reactor can run for
several hours without operating the primary cooling system to remove
heat from the reactor pool because of the large heat sink provided by
the volume of water in the pool. When heat needs to be removed from the
reactor pool the primary cooling system is operated. The primary
coolant is cooled by secondary coolant in the heat exchanger, the
secondary coolant is an open loop of city water that is discharged to
the sanitary sewer. The MUTR facility annual usage of city water is
minimal, less than 1 percent of the total University consumption.
During operation, the secondary system is maintained at a higher
pressure than the primary system to minimize the likelihood of primary
system contamination entering the secondary system, and ultimately the
environment. Additional controls are included in the facility design,
as indicated in the MUTR Environmental Report, included in the
licensee's application, ``. . . to preclude the contamination of the
city water supply by the reactor facility, the city water supply passes
through a backflow prevention valve after entering the reactor pump
room before it is distributed to the make-up water and cooling
systems.''
The reactor's low power level results in a small amount of heat
that is released to the environment. Release of this heat (thermal
effluent) from the MUTR facility will not have a significant effect on
the environment. As stated above, minimal amounts of secondary water
discharges to the sanitary sewer system after passing through the
primary heat exchanger.
The Department of Environmental Safety, Sustainability, and Risk
provides the University of Maryland community with information to
comply with Federal, State, local and university requirements for
managing hazardous and other regulated wastes. Because there is no
cooling tower, secondary water treatment chemicals are not used at the
MUTR facility. Small amounts of chemicals may be used at the MUTR
facility that are typical of what is used in a university research
environment. What chemicals or hazardous waste that is produced in
conjunction with operation of the facility is disposed of in accordance
with campus hazardous waste procedures maintained by the Department of
Environmental Safety, Sustainability, and Risk.
Because the proposed action does not involve any change in the
operation of the reactor, water use at the reactor is a small
percentage of the university's water use, chemical use is small and
disposal complies with all requirements, and the heat dissipated to the
environment is minimal, the NRC staff concludes that the non-
radiological impacts from proposed action will not have a significant
impact on the environment.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Considerations
The NRC has responsibilities that are derived from NEPA and from
other environmental laws, which include the Endangered Species Act,
Coastal Zone Management Act, National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA),
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and Executive Order 12898,
Environmental Justice. The following presents a brief discussion of
impacts associated with these laws and other requirements.
1. Endangered Species Act
The Wildlife and Heritage Service of the Maryland Department of
Natural Resources has stated that there are no State or Federal records
documenting rare, threatened, or endangered species within the
boundaries of the MUTR site. Based on this information, the NRC staff
finds that the potential impacts of the proposed action would have no
adverse effect on rare, threatened, or endangered species within the
MUTR site boundary.
2. Coastal Zone Management Act
The MUTR is not located within any managed coastal zones; nor would
the MUTR effluents and emissions impact any managed coastal zones.
Based on this information, the NRC staff finds that the potential
impacts of the proposed action would not adversely affect managed
coastal zones.
3. National Historic Preservation Act
The NHPA requires Federal agencies to consider the effects of their
undertakings on historic properties. The National Register of Historic
Places lists historic properties in the vicinity of the MUTR and the
UMD. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) was contacted and a
project review form was submitted. The SHPO determined that license
renewal would have no adverse effect on historic properties in the
vicinity of the MUTR. Based on this information, the NRC staff finds
that the potential impacts of the proposed action would have no adverse
effect on historic and archaeological resources.
4. Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
The licensee is not planning any water resource development
projects, including any of the modifications relating to impounding a
body of water, damming, diverting a stream or river, deepening a
channel, irrigation, or altering a body of water for navigation or
drainage. Based on this information, the NRC staff finds that the
potential impacts of the proposed action would not adversely affect
water resource near the MUTR site boundary.
5. Executive Order 12898--Environmental Justice
The environmental justice impact analysis evaluates the potential
for disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental
effects on minority and low-income populations that could result from
the relicensing and the continued operation of the MUTR. Such effects
may include human health, biological, cultural, economic, or social
impacts.
Minority Populations in the Vicinity of the MUTR--According to the
2010 Census, approximately 49 percent of the total population (total of
approximately 7,900,000 individuals) residing within a 50-mile radius
of MUTR identified themselves as minority. The largest minority
population were Black or African American (2,172,000 persons or 27
percent), followed by Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin of any race
(approximately 871,000 persons or 11 percent). According to the U.S.
Census Bureau's 2010 Census, about 85.1 percent of the Prince George's
County population identified themselves as minorities, with persons of
Black or African American origin comprising the largest minority group
(64.5 percent). According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2014 American
Community Survey 1-Year Estimates, the minority population of Prince
George's County, as a percent
[[Page 93972]]
of the total population, had increased to 85.9 percent.
Low-income Populations in the Vicinity of the MUTR--According to
the U.S. Census Bureau's 2010-2014 American Community Survey 5-Year
Estimates, approximately 124,000 families and 736,000 individuals (6.4
and 9.2 percent, respectively) residing within a 50-mile radius of the
MUTR were identified as living below the Federal poverty threshold. The
2014 Federal poverty threshold was $24,230 for a family of four.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2014 American Community
Survey 1-Year Estimates, the median household income for Maryland was
$73,971, while 7.1 percent of families and 10.1 percent of the state
population were found to be living below the Federal poverty threshold.
Prince George's County had a lower median household income average
($72,290) and a similar percentage of families (7.0 percent) and
individuals (10.2 percent) living below the poverty level,
respectively.
Impact Analysis--Potential impacts to minority and low-income
populations would mostly consist of radiological effects, however
radiation doses from continued operations associated with the license
renewal are expected to continue at current levels, and would be below
regulatory limits.
Based on this information and the analysis of human health and
environmental impacts presented in this environmental assessment, the
NRC staff concludes that the proposed license renewal would not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental
effects on minority and low-income populations residing in the vicinity
of the MUTR.
Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to license renewal, the NRC considered denying
the proposed action. If the NRC denied the request for license renewal,
reactor operations would cease and decommissioning would be required.
The NRC staff notes that, even with a renewed license, the MUTR will
eventually require decommissioning, at which time the environmental
effects of decommissioning will occur. Decommissioning will be
conducted in accordance with an NRC-approved decommissioning plan which
would require a separate environmental review under 10 CFR 51.21.
Cessation of facility operations would reduce or eliminate radioactive
effluents and emissions. However, as previously discussed in this
environmental assessment, radioactive effluents and emissions from
reactor operations constitute only a small fraction of the applicable
regulatory limits. Therefore, the environmental impacts of license
renewal and the denial of the request for license renewal would be
similar. In addition, denying the request for license renewal would
eliminate the benefits of teaching, research, and services provided by
the MUTR.
Alternative Use of Resources
The proposed action does not involve the use of any different
resources or significant quantities of resources beyond those
previously considered in the issuance of Amendment No. 7 to Facility
Operating License No. R-70 for the MUTR, dated August 7, 1984, which
renewed the Facility Operating License for a period of 20 years.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
In accordance with the agency's stated policy, on December 9, 2016,
the NRC staff provided the Maryland State Nuclear Emergency
Preparedness Coordinator an email of the staff's environmental
assessment for publishing in the Federal Register regarding the
environmental impact of the proposed action. The correspondence
involved a thorough explanation of the environmental review, the
details of this environmental assessment, and the NRC staff's findings.
The State official responded by email December 16, 2016 and indicated
the state of Maryland had no comments with this action.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC staff has prepared this EA as part of its review of the
proposed action. On the basis of the EA included in Section II above
and incorporated by reference in this finding, the NRC finds that there
are no significant environmental impacts from the proposed action, and
the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality
of the human environment. The NRC staff has determined that a FONSI is
appropriate, and decided not to prepare an environmental impact
statement for the proposed action.
IV. Availability of Documents
The following table identifies the environmental and other
documents cited in this document and related to the NRC's FONSI. These
documents are available for public inspection online through ADAMS at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html or in person at the NRC's PDR
