Environmental Review Case Study for the Sequoya Fuels Corporation Uranium Conversion Site in Gore, Oklahoma
Abstract
This environmental review case study reviews the historical information regarding
the Sequoyah Fuels Corporation’s (SFCs) uranium conversion site (U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) Materials License No. SUB-1010, Docket No. 04008027) in Gore, Oklahoma
as well as the activities undertaken by the NRC to meet The National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended1 and the NRC regulations implementing NEPA,
found in Title 10, “Energy,” of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 51 (10
CFR Part 51)2.
This case study specifically addresses the following three questions:
• How did groundwater contamination affect the NEPA environmental impact statement
(EIS) required issues?
• How did the NEPA process help or hinder the NRC?
• How did the NRC decisionmakers use or not use the information in the NRC Final EIS?
