F 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMISSION ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

! REGARDING PROPOSED ORDER RELATING TO ,.

I

!' TERMINATION OF FACILITt OPERATING LICENSE NO. R-111

!' GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

( . DOCKET NO. 50-276

~

The Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) is considering t

issuance of an Order authorizing disposition of all reactor components and I

tenninating Facility Operating License No. R-111 for the AGN-201 reactor l

facility on the Campus of Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. A single Order is considered appropriate because removing all fuel from this type of reactor leaves an intact, portable, non-radioactive entity.

The Order would authorize disposal of the reactor components and tenninate the Operating License in accordance with the licensee's application dated September 26, 1984, as supplemented. Opportunity for hearing was afforded by the Notice of Proposed Issuance of Orders Authorizing Disposition of Component Parts and Tenninating Facility l

License published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on November 21, 1984 at 49 FR 45939. No request for a hearing or petition to intervene was filed following notice of the proposed action.

7590-01 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Proposed Action f

The Order would authorize disposition of all non-fueled reactor components and terminate Facility Operating License No. R-111, issued for the AGN reactor at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia.

Need for the Proposed Action Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82, the licensee has requested that the Commission terminate the Operating License. The final radiological inspection has been I completed, showing that all relevant regulatory requirements have been f satisfied. Therefore, there is no longer any need for the Operating License I

to remain in effect.

Environmental Impacts of Proposed Action The fuel has been removed from the reactor and authorization to retain I it has been transferred to another Facility Operating License, and residual contamination is within acceptable levels. Also, the remaining components I'

are essentially portable, so removing them will cause no disturbance of I

buildings and grounds. Therefore, termination of the license is the next aLpropriate administrative action. This action will have no environmental ,

impact. ,

l Alternative Use of Resources  ;

The proposed action does not involve any unresolved conflicts concerning ,

i F alternative uses of available resources.

2 Agencies and Persons Consulted ,

l The NRC staff reviewed and approved the licensee's decomissioning plan jr and conducted the final inspection of the site. No other agencies or persons  ;

,j were consulted. j i i I i r . _ _ -

7590-01 FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

' On the basis of the Environmental Assessment, the Comission has concluded that tennination of the license will have no significant j environmental impact. The Comission has determined not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed action.

For further details with respect to this action see the licensee's 1

request for authorization to dismantle and for tennination of the Facility Operating License dated September 26, 1984, and the Comission's Notice of Proposed Issuance of Orders Authorizing Disposition of Component Parts and Tenninating Facility License dated November 21,1984,(49FR45939),

- which are available for public inspection at the Comission's Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.

I Dated at Bethesda, Maryland, this 17th day of December 1985.
