- The proposed Federal Action:
NRC: Whether or not to issue a construction permit NRC: Whether or not to issue a construction permit DOE: Whether or not to provide cost-sharing financial support to SHINE
- The purpose and need is to provide a medical radioisotope production option that could help fill the need for a domestic source of medical radioisotopes.

Definition of Impacts Definition of Impacts NRC-defined impact levels:
NRC defined impact levels:
SMALL - Effects are not detectable or are so minor that they will neither destabilize nor noticeably alter an important attribute of the resource.
MODERATE - Effects are sufficient to alter noticeably but not to destabilize important attributes noticeably, but not to destabilize, important attributes of the resource.
LARGE - Effects are clearly noticeable and are sufficient to destabilize important attributes of the resource.
