Assumption of Lead Responsibility for an Environmental Impact Statement Evaluating Container Systems for the Management of Spent Nuclear Fuel

The Department of the Navy (Navy) announces its plan to assume lead responsibility for preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) evaluating container systems for the management of naval spent nuclear fuel. This EIS (previously titled Environmental Impact Statement for a Multi-Purpose Canister System for Management of Civilian and Naval Spent Nuclear Fuel) was being prepared by the Department of Energy (DOE), with the Navy participating as a cooperating agency, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality regulations for implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500-1508). DOE is halting its proposal to fabricate and deploy a multi-purpose canister based system and the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management will cease preparation of the multi- purpose canister EIS which was to include both civilian and naval spent nuclear fuel. DOE will be a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS for naval spent nuclear fuel.
