7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY C0l#4ISSION FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REGARDING PROPOSED ORDER AUTHORIZING DISMANTLING OF THE REACTOR AND DISPOSITION OF COMPONENT PARTS UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT SANTA BARBARA l

DOCKET

0. 50-433 i

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering issuance of an Order authorizing the University of California at Santa Barbara to dismantle their L-77 reactor facility in Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, California and to dispose of the reactor components in accordance with the application dated i

September 9, 1985, as supplemented.

The Order would authorize dismantling of the facility and disposal of the components in accordance with the licensee's application for decontamination i

and dismantling dated September 9, 1985, as supplemented. Opportunity for hearing was afforded by the " Notice of Proposed Issuance of Orders Authorizing Disposition of Component Parts and Terminating Facility License" published i

in the Federal Register on October 30, 1985 at 5 FR 45180.

1 Finding of No Significant Environmental Impact j

The Commission has determined not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed action. The Commission has prepared an j

i Environmental Assessment of this action and has concluded that the proposed j

action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.

I operations are discusseo in an Environmental Assessment associated with this j

action. The operations are calculated to result in a collective radiation exposure of less than 0.05 person-rem to all operating personnel. Collective 1

radiation exposure to the general public will be insignificant. The i

Environmental Assessment concluded that the operation will not result in any I

significant environmental impacts on air, water, land or biota in the area, and that an Environmental Impact Statement need not be prepared. These conclusions were based on the fact that all proposed operations are carefully planned and controlled, all contaminated components are removed, packaged, and shipped offsite, and that the radioactive wastes from the facility are within i

i the limits of 10 CFR Part 20 and are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).

j For detailed information with respect to this proposed action, see the application for dismantling, decontamination and license termination dated September 9, 1985, as supplemented, the Environmental Assessment, and the

-1 Safety Evaluation prepared by the staff. These documents and this Finding of No Significant Environmental Impact are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, N. W., Washington, D. C.
