AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENT ANALYSIS FOR THE FINAL SITE-WIDE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE Y-12 NATIONAL SECURITY COMPLEX (Y-12 SWEIS), EARTHQUAKE ACCIDENT ANALYSIS (DOE/EIS-0387-SA-04)

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announces the availability of this Draft Supplement Analysis (SA), which presents an analysis of the potential impacts of earthquake accidents at the Y-12 site.

Based on the SA, NNSA will determine whether the Y-12 SWEIS (DOE/EIS-087) should be supplemented, a new SWEIS is warranted, or if no further NEPA documentation is required. NNSA invites the public to review and submit comments on the Draft SA.

Copies of the document are available for public review on the NNSA NEPA web page (https://www.energy.gov/nnsa/nnsa-nepa-reading-room) under “Open for Public Comment.”
