NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 030-05219, 030-14482, and 070-00124]


Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact and Availability of 
Environmental Assessment for License Amendment of Materials License 
Nos. 29-00055-06, 29-00055-15, AND SNM-107 (Teledyne Brown Engineering, 
Inc., Westwood, NJ)

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuing 
license amendments to Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. for Materials 
License Nos. 29-00055-06, 29-00055-15, and SNM-107, to authorize 
release of its facilities in Westwood and Plainfield, New Jersey, for 
unrestricted use and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) in 
support of this action in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 
part 51. Based on the EA, the NRC has concluded that a Finding of No 
Significant Impact (FONSI) is appropriate.

II. EA Summary

    The purpose of the proposed action is to allow for the release of 
the licensee's Westwood and Plainfield, New Jersey, facilities for 
unrestricted use. Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. has been authorized 
by NRC since 1964 to use radioactive materials for analytical services, 
research and development, precious metals recovery, and other similar 
purposes at these sites. On February 7, 2003, Teledyne Brown 
Engineering, Inc. requested that NRC release the facilities for 
unrestricted use. Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. has conducted 
surveys of the facilities and determined that the facilities meet the 
license termination criteria in subpart E of 10 CFR part 20.

III. Finding of No Significant Impact

    The NRC staff has evaluated Teledyne Brown Engineering's request 
and the results of the surveys and has concluded that the completed 
action complies with 10 CFR part 20. The staff has prepared the EA 
(summarized above) in support of the proposed license amendment to 
terminate the license and release the facility for unrestricted use. On 
the basis of the EA, NRC has concluded that the environmental impacts 
from the proposed action are expected to be insignificant and has 
determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the 
proposed action.

IV. Further Information

    The EA and the documents related to this proposed action, including 
the application for the license amendment and supporting documentation, 
are available for inspection at NRC's Public Electronic Reading Room at 
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML031350057). Any questions with respect to this action should be 
referred to Betsy Ullrich, Nuclear Materials Safety Branch 2, Division 
of Nuclear Materials Safety, Region I, 475 Allendale Road, King of 
Prussia, Pennsylvania, 19406, telephone (610) 337-5040, fax (610) 337-
5269.

    Dated at King of Prussia, Pennsylvania this 15th day of May, 
2003.
