W. T. Crow Discussion On June 26 and 27, 1979, E. Shum of NRC visited and toured the Exxon Nuclear Fuel Fabrication Plant and the simulated R&D Experimental Testing Facility using laser for the enrichment of uranium. Af ter the tour, a meeting was held with Exxon's staffs to discuss the review status of the Nuclear Fuel Fabrication Plant currently under license renewal action and the review status of the proposed ETF license application. Various subjects related to the environmental impact assessment of the above licensing actions, such as the effluents control, radiological impact assessment, ccmpliance with 40 CFR 190 and current methodology used were also discussed. A tour to the lagoon under relining operation and the monitoring wells and the rearest resident from the plant were also conducted.
On June 28, 1979, E. Shum visited the Battelle Pacific Northwest Labora-tories. A meeting was held in the morning with BNWL staffs to discuss effluents control, effluents monitoring, environmental surveillance and groundwater program of the BNWL site.
In the afternoon, a tour to Bldgs. 308 (Plutonium Fuels Laboratory); 325 (Radiochemistry Lab); 306 -
W Building (Thorium 0xide Fuel Development Lab); 331 (Life Science Laboratories) was conducted. The BNWL presented several reports con-cerning the environmental impact of te overall BNWL operation.
BNWL staffs were informed that additional environmental information may be required to allow NRC to complete the environmental impact assessment on their license renewal action.
