Mr. Ken Westlake U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 77 W. Jackson Blvd.

Chicago, IL 60604

SUBJECT:

SHINE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT RELATED TO THE OPERATING LICENSE FOR THE SHINE MEDICAL ISOTOPE PRODUCTION FACILITY (DOCKET NO. 50-608)

Dear Ken Westlake:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed draft Supplement 1 to NUREG-2183, Environmental Impact Statement for the Construction Permit for the SHINE Medical Radioisotope Production Facility, issued October 2015, in response to the SHINE Medical Technologies, LLC (SHINE) request for a license to operate the SHINE Medical Isotope Production Facility in Janesville, Wisconsin. The comment period ends August 22, 2022.

As discussed in chapter 4 of the draft supplement, the NRC staffs preliminary recommendation, unless safety issues mandate otherwise, is that the operating license be issued as proposed.

This recommendation is based on: (1) the analysis and findings in the draft supplement; (2) consultation with Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies; (3) the environmental report submitted by SHINE; (4) the NRC staffs independent environmental review; and (5) the consideration of public comments.

The draft supplement was submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency via e-NEPA and copies are also being distributed to interested Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies, industry organizations, interest groups, and members of the public. A copy of the draft supplement has also been placed at the Hedberg Public Library, 316 South Main Street, Janesville, WI 53545, and in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html under Accession No. ML22179A346.
