American Centrifuge Operating, LLC; American Centrifuge Plant; Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact

الملخص

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering amending Special Nuclear Material (SNM) License No. SNM-2011, issued on April 13, 2007, to American Centrifuge Operating, LLC (ACO) for the operation of the American Centrifuge Plant (ACP). The NRC is considering extending authorization of the high-assay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU) demonstration program operations to continue beyond December 31, 2024, through June 30, 2025. In the event of an extension of ACO's HALEU contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), potentially the authorization would be extended through the revised contract period. For this proposed action, the NRC staff is issuing an environmental assessment (EA) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI).
