Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Construction and Operation of anIndependent Spent Fuel Storage Installation to Store the Three Mile Island Unit 2 Spent Fuel at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. Docket No. 72-20

摘要

This Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was prepared by the U.S. NuclearRegulatory Commission in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFRPart 51. The FEIS contains an assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the construction and operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) for the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) fuel debris at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The NRC proposes to issue a license to the U.S. Department of Energy-Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID) which will authorize DOE-ID to store the TMI-2 fuel debris in an ISFSI. DOE-ID is proposing to design, construct, and operate at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP). The TMI-2 fuel debris would be removed from wet storage at the Test Area North pool, transported to the ISFSI at the ICPP, and placed in storage modules on a concrete basemat.
