Description
This is a scientific and technical review of the Department of Energy's Final Environmental Impact Statement on the Proposed Nuclear Weapons Nonproliferation Policy Concerning Foreign Research Reactor Spent Nuclear Fuel (FRR-SNF). The receipt of FRR-SNF adds an additional and important component to DOE's programmatic Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) activities. This review also looks at the EIS processes associated with the revised Surplus Plutonium Disposition initiatives. The purpose of this review is to analyze the adequacy of the environmental impact assessment and public participation approaches taken by DOE as part of its decision-making process on spent fuel and surplus plutonium, particularly, at the Savannah River Site (SRS) as required by NEPA (1969). Particular emphasis is placed on the aspect of Environmental Justice to help stakeholders in the local affected communities in understanding the resulting impacts on their communities and DOE policy and practices for implementing the mandates of relevant environmental laws and regulations.
This research was completed money allocated during Round 1 of the Citizens’ Monitoring and Technical Assessment Fund (MTA Fund). Clark University was named conservator of these works.
