Notice of Intent

The Department of Energy (DOE) announces its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the management of a portion of the aluminum-clad spent nuclear fuel 1 at the Savannah River Site. The Department's objective is to identify and implement appropriate actions to safely and efficiently manage all aluminum-clad spent nuclear fuel and targets assigned to the Savannah River Site, including placing these materials in forms suitable for disposition. To this end, this EIS will cover that portion of the aluminum-clad spent nuclear fuel inventory currently in storage at the Savannah River Site, as well as aluminum-clad foreign, domestic and government research reactor aluminum-clad spent nuclear fuel that has been assigned to, but has not yet been received at the Savannah River Site. Approximately 188 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel and targets currently stored at the SRS are not considered within the scope of this EIS because the Department has already decided on the management strategy for these materials. The spent nuclear fuel included in this EIS consists of approximately 62 metric tons heavy metal of spent nuclear fuel: 34 metric tons currently at the Savannah Ri
