i 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT RELATED TO THE TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF GENERAL ATOMIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
FROM CHEVRON CORPORATION TO GENERAL ATOMIC TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION DOCKET NOS. 59-89, 50-163 AND 70-734 The U.S. N'uclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering a request for approval of the transfer of control of General Atomic Technologies,Inc.(GA)toGeneralAtomicTechnologiesCorporation(GATC).
By application dated May 7, 1986, GATC requested approval for the transfer of control of GA from Chevron, USA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, to GATC. Under the proposed transfer all management and operating aspects of the existing organization of GA would transfer intact to GATC.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Description of Proposed Action As a result of proposed acquisition by GATC of all GA outstanding stock, all NRC licenses and NRC-licensed activities would come under the control of GATC. Among these licenses and activities are those pertaining to two research reactors and a fuel fabrication facility.
Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action Under the proposed new corporate structure, the licensed operations will continue to be performed in the same manner they have been by GA. No 0608190620 860008 PDR ADOCK 05000009 P PDR
{ changes are anticipated in the operating and management personnel, in the minimum qualifications and in personnel responsible for safety, or in the organization of GA. All reactor activities will be conducted in accordance with the reactor licenses and Technical Specifications. All activities described in the special nuclear materials license will continue to be performed in accordance with existing license requirements. Based on the above review, the staff has determined that there will be no significant changes in the types or significant increase in the amounts of effluents that may be released offsite, and there will be no significant increase in individual or cumulative' occupitional or population radiation exposure.
Approval of the proposed transfer does not otherwise affect radiological effluents. Likewise, the proposed transfer does not affect non-radiological effluents, and has no other environmental impact.
i Therefore, the Commissio'1 concludes that there are no non-radiological i
impacts associated with this proposed action.
Since we have concluded that there are no measurable negative environmental impacts associated with this proposed action, any alternatives would not provide any significant additional protection of the environment.
l Alternative Use of Resources This action does not involve the use of resources not previously considered in authorizing the licenses as to which control is proposed to be transferred.
Agencies and Persons Contacted The NRC did not consult other agencies or persons.
