Sunmary of Environmental Impacts The environrertal impacts asscciated with the dismantling ard decortcr -
ination cperations are discussed in an Envircnmental Assessment assctiatec with this action, dated March 9, 1987 The operations are calttlated to result in a total radiation exposure of between 6.P and 12.4 person-rer. '.o all operating personnel ano less than 0.005 person-rem to the general put.lic.
The Environmental Assessment concluded that the operation will not result in any significant environmental impacts on air, water, land or biot 6 in the area, and that an Environmer.tal Impact Statement need not be prepared.
These conclusions were based on the fact that all proposed operatiers are carefully planned and controlled, all contaminated components will be removed, packaged, and shipped offsite, and that the radiological effluent control procedures and systems ensure that releases of radioactive wastes from the facility are within the limits of 10 CFR Part 20 and are as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA).
For further details with respect to this proposed action, see the application for dismantling, decontamination and license termination dated May 3, 1985, as supplemented, the Environmental Assessment, and the Safety Evaluation prepared by the staff.
