Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Action
The NRC does not expect that
significant changes in radiation hazards
to workers would result from the
proposed action. In performing the
Direct Transfers, WCS would follow its
State of Texas-approved radiation
protection procedures (e.g., Radiation
Safety Procedures, as low as is
reasonably achievable [ALARA]
Program) to keep radiological doses to
workers within the State’s regulatory
limits (see Texas Administrative Code,
Part 1, Chapter 336, Subchapter D,
‘‘Standards for Protection Against
Radiation’’). The WCS conducts this
approved radiation protection program
with an emphasis on maintaining
radiological doses to workers and the
general public ALARA.
To reduce the potential for
inadvertent criticality, WCS would: (1)
Be limited in the number of
transportation packages transferred on a
single conveyance to the CWF or the
FWF using the total CSI of less than 50;
(2) be required to have a maximum of
only one transportation package open in
the CWF and the FWF at the same time;
and (3) be required to safely dispose of
the waste in the CWF or the FWF within
24 hours.
The NRC staff does not expect the
proposed action to result in substantive
changes to the transportation impacts
identified in prior EAs. The modified
exemption request addresses only
changes to onsite movement of SNMbearing wastes. Direct Transfers to the
CWF or the FWF would take place
within an area under control by WCS,
on pre-existing dedicated secure access
roads, and with administrative controls
(speed limits and enforced road
blockages during Direct Transfers)
intended to reduce the potential for, the
severity of, and the potential
consequences of accidents.
Additionally, all Direct Transfers to the
CWF and to the FWF would be escorted
by radiation safety technicians and
waste acceptance personnel. All other
environmental impacts would be the
same as those evaluated in the EAs that
supported the previous versions of the
NRC Order.
If WCS’ modified exemption request
is approved by the NRC staff, then the
NRC would issue a new Order to
supersede the 2014 Order, with new
conditions added to address the
modified exemption request. The WCS
would continue to be permitted to
possess SNM at the TSDF that meets the
concentration limits and controls
without an NRC part 70 license. The
WCS would continue to be permitted to

Jkt 241001

possess at the TSDF, highly water
soluble forms of SNM limited to
amounts of SNM less than ‘‘special
nuclear material of low strategic
significance,’’ as defined in 10 CFR 70.4.
The State of Texas regulates effluent
releases and potential doses to the
public under the WCS license. The State
of Texas would continue to regulate the
SNM at the WCS facility subject to the
Order, as long as WCS complies with
the NRC Order.
Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As an alternative to the proposed
action, the NRC staff considered denial
of the WCS’ modified exemption
request. This would result in the NRC
not issuing a new order that would
supersede the 2014 Order (i.e., the ‘‘no
action’’ alternative). Under that
alternative, WCS would continue its
currently approved program for
transferring SNM wastes to either the
CWF or the FWF for disposal. Under
that program, WCS would offload waste
packages from conveyances one at a
time to stay within the current aboveground SNM possession limit. Such
actions would require multiple trips (as
many as needed to individually transfer
waste packages) to the CWF or to the
FWF. Compared to the proposed action,
this would result in an increased
handling of SNM wastes, with a
subsequently increased possibility of
accidents and radiological exposure.
However, WCS would continue to
conduct its state-approved radiation
protection program to maintain
radiological doses to workers and the
general public ALARA.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
On December 21, 2016, the staff
consulted with the TCEQ, providing by
email a copy of the draft EA for review
and comment (ADAMS Accession No.
ML17026A356). In an email dated
January 12, 2017, the TCEQ stated that
it had no comments of the draft EA
(ADAMS Accession No. ML17026A360).
The proposed action does not involve
the development or disturbance of
additional land. Hence, the NRC has
determined that the proposed action
will not affect listed endangered or
threatened species or their critical
habitat. Therefore, no further
consultation is required under Section 7
of the Endangered Species Act.
Likewise, the NRC staff has determined
that the proposed action does not have
the potential to cause effects on historic
properties even if they were present.
Direct Transfers would take place on
dedicated secure access roads within
the WCS site, and no ground disturbing

activities are associated with the
proposed action. Therefore, no
consultation is required under Section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC has reviewed WCS’
December 4, 2014, request, as revised
through subsequent public interactions
between the NRC and WCS, to amend
the 2014 Order. The NRC has found that
effluent releases and potential
radiological doses to the public are not
anticipated to change as a result of this
proposed action and that occupational
exposures are expected to remain within
regulatory limits and ALARA. On the
basis of the environmental assessment,
the NRC finds that the proposed action
has no significant impact on the quality
of the human environment.
Accordingly, the NRC has determined
not to prepare an environmental impact
statement for the proposed action.
