ACO License Amendment Request EA.pdf Hello Krystle,
Please find attached a password-protected draft Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared by the staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The draft EA provides the NRC staffs evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of American Centrifuge Operatings (ACO) license amendment request for the HALEU cascade at American Centrifuge Plant (ACP) in Piketon, Ohio.
ACO is requesting an extension to the license SNM-2011 to allow the HALEU cascade to continue operations until June 30, 2034. The proposed action does not include any increases in the operating capacity of the demonstration plant; however, the extension request does include a possession limit increase to account for the additional HALEU, tails, and feed to be stored on site during operations.
For review only by staff of the EPA Region V, the draft EA should not be disclosed without prior written NRC permission. Please review the draft EA and provide any comments by Thursday, May 15.
I will send the password in a separate email.
If you have any questions about this matter, please call me at the phone number below or respond to this email.
- Thanks, Isaac Johnston, Ph.D.
