APPENDIX I: COMPARISON OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE TRITIUM SUPPLY AND RECYCLING ALTERNATIVES I.1 Comparison of Tritium Supply and Recycling Alternatives A comparison of the environmental consequences of the tritium supply and recycling alternatives is summarized in tables I.1-1 and I.1-2. These tables compare the impacts to environmental resources associated with No Action, the tritium supply technologies and recycling at each of the five candidate sites, and the commercial light water reactor alternative. Section3.2 presents the possible alternatives in more detail. The table I.1-1 comparison format presents the impacts of alternatives by resource or issue under two subcategories: collocated tritium supply and recycling; and tritium supply alone. Also included in the comparison table are impacts associated with "less than baseline operations" (section 3.1). At the end of each resource or issue is a subsection that discusses the impacts of phasing out the recycling mission at Savannah River Site (SRS) if any one of the tritium supply technologies with a new recycling facility is selected at a different site. For example, if the Heavy Water Reactor (HWR) is collocated with recycling at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), the tritium recycling mission at SRS would be phased out and must be considered as part of the action at INEL. The tritium recycling phaseout discussion applies to any collocated tritium supply and recycling at all sites except SRS. Likewise, if a tritium supply alone is sited at INEL, the recycling facility at SRS would be upgraded as part of the action at INEL. At SRS there are no tritium supply alone alternatives since tritium recycling is already located at SRS and would be upgraded if a tritium supply were sited there. Therefore, the impacts for alternatives at SRS consist only of tritium supply and upgraded recycling. The tritium recycling upgrade at SRS would the part of the tritium supply alone alternatives at the other four candidate sites (INEL, Nevada Test Site [NTS], Oak Ridge Reservation [ORR] and Pantex Plant [Pantex]). Table I.1-2 presents the impacts of the commercial reactor alternative for key resource fissure areas for construction and operation. Under No Action, the Department of Energy (DOE) would not establish a new tritium supply capability, the current inventory of tritium would decay and DOE would not meet stockpile requirements of tritium. Sites would continue waste management programs to meet the legal requirements and commitments in formal agreements and would proceed with cleanup activities. Production facilities and support roles at specific sites, however, would be downsized or eliminated in accordance with the reduced workload projected for the year 2010 and beyond. The current DOE missions assumed to continue under No Action are listed in section 3.3 for each candidate site.
