NRC Receives Supplemental Environmental Report for MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility

Summary

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received a supplemental Environmental Report from Duke COGEMA Stone & Webster (DCS) for the proposed Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility. The report was submitted due to changes in the Department of Energy's (DOE) planned approach to surplus weapons plutonium disposition, which requires design modifications to the proposed facility.
