Amended Record of Decision for Highly Enriched Uranium Blend Down to High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium at the Savannah River Site; Aiken, South Carolina
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has prepared an amended Record of Decision (ROD) for Highly Enriched Uranium Blend Down to High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium at the Savannah River Site (DOE/EIS-0240 and DOE/EIS-0279), which assesses the potential environmental impacts of DOE's decision to blend down approximately 2.2 metric tons of highly enriched uranium to produce approximately 3.1 metric tons of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina and later transport the HALEU liquid to an offsite commercial vendor for fabrication into reactor fuel for use in nuclear reactor.
