NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket 40–3392]

Finding of No Significant Impact and
Notice of Opportunity for a Hearing;
Renewal of Source Material License
Sub–526 AlliedSignal, Inc. Metropolis,
Illinois
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission is considering the renewal
of Source Material License SUB–526 for
the continued operation of the
AlliedSignal, Inc. (Allied), UF6
conversion facility, located in
Metropolis, Illinois.
Summary of the Environmental
Assessment
Identification of the Proposed Action
The proposed action is the renewal of
Allied’s Source Material License SUB–
526 for 10 years. With this renewal, the
Metropolis facility will continue to
convert natural uranium ore
concentrates into UF6 for the
commercial nuclear power industry.
The production of UF6 is one phase in
the fuel cycle resulting in production of
fuel elements for nuclear reactors.

The Need for the Proposed Action
Allied performs a necessary service
for the commercial nuclear power
industry by converting natural uranium
ore concentrates into UF6. The UF6
product is then shipped to gaseous
diffusion plants for the enrichment of
the uranium (U–235) isotope; following
enrichment, the uranium is converted
into fuel for use in nuclear power
reactors. Currently, Allied is the only
UF6 conversion facility operating within
the United States. Denial of the license
renewal for Allied’s Metropolis facility
is an alternative available to the NRC,
but would require the construction of a
new facility at another site.
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The radiological impacts of the
continued operation of the Metropolis
facility were assessed by calculating the
radiation dose to the maximally exposed
individual located at the nearest
residence and the collective radiation
dose to the local population living
within 80 kilometers (50 miles) of the
plant site.
Doses From Routine Airborne Releases
Atmospheric releases were
determined for three locations at the
Metropolis facility: (1) the feed material
building, (2) the uranium recovery
facility, and (3) the ore sampling plant.
Based on information provided in the
application, the projected annual
average quantity of uranium released
from each emission point was
estimated. The isotopic distribution of
the uranium and the solubility class of
the uranium were also determined.
Relatively small amounts of thorium230 and radium-226 are also released
from the Metropolis facility. The
radiation doses resulting from
atmospheric releases were estimated
using the XOQDOQ and GENII
computer codes. The maximally
exposed individual was located at the
nearest residence, which was 564
meters (1,850 feet) north northeast of the
Metropolis facility. The radiation dose
Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE)
to the nearest resident is estimated to be
1.5 mrem per year. This estimated
radiation dose is less than the limit of
10 mrem per year established by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) in 40 CFR Part 61 for the air
pathway and less than the limit of 25
mrem per year established by the EPA
in 40 CFR Part 190 for all pathways. It
is also less than the 100 mrem per year
limit established by the NRC in 10 CFR
Part 20. The highest organ dose is to the
lungs from insoluble forms of uranium.

The estimated lung dose of 9.3 mrem
per year is less than the dose limit
established in 40 CFR Part 190; the
thyroid doses were also an insignificant
fraction of the 75 mrem per year thyroid
dose limit established in 40 CFR Part
190.
The population surrounding Allied’s
facility is about 471,410 people, based
on 1990 census data. The collective
dose to the surrounding population is
estimated to be 4.1 person-rem per year.
Based on an average background
radiation dose of 0.360 rem per year for
individuals in the U.S., the same
population would receive about 170,000
person-rem per year from background
radiation. Thus, the collective radiation
dose associated with atmospheric
releases from Allied’s facility is a very
small percentage (0.0024%) of the
collective radiation dose from
background radiation for these same
people.
Doses From Aqueous Releases
The projected annual average quantity
of radionuclides released to the Ohio
River from the Metropolis facility was
estimated using information provided
by the applicant. The GENII computer
code was used to estimate radiation
doses through ingestion, shoreline
exposure, and water submersion
pathways. The estimated radiation dose
(TEDE) to the maximally exposed
individual located 8 kilometers (5 miles)
downstream of the Metropolis facility is
estimated to be 0.0013 mrem per year.
This estimated radiation dose is far less
than the 100 mrem per year limit
established by the NRC in 10 CFR Part
20 and the 25 mrem per year limit
established by EPA in 40 CFR Part 190.
The estimated radiation dose of 0.0013
mrem per year is also far less than the
dose of 4 mrem per year that is the basis
for the drinking water standards
contained in 40 CFR Part 141.
The estimated collective radiation
dose to the population (4,846 people)
located in Cairo, Illinois, as a result of
liquid releases is estimated to be 0.0030
person-rem per year. Based on an
average background radiation dose of
0.360 rem per year for individuals in the
U.S., this same population would
receive about 1,700 person-rem per year
from background radiation; the
collective radiation dose associated with
liquid releases from Allied’s Metropolis
facility thus is a small percentage of the
collective radiation dose from
background.
Accident Evaluation
In the Environmental Assessment, the
NRC evaluated a suite of five accident
scenarios. Four of the five scenarios
