CX-016414: Domestic and Foreign Sealed Source Recovery Project

The National Nuclear Security Administration proposed action is to continue the recovery of domestic and foreign actinide-and non-actinide bearing sealed sources and remove the preparation of yearly categorical exclusions for the Off-site Source Recovery Project (OSRP).  The OSRP is an established multi-year program covered by a Department of Energy's National Environmental Policy Act CX.  The OSRP recovers both domestic and foreign sealed sources. CXs have been prepared yearly for both domestic and foreign recovery efforts.  The NNSA proposes to continue the OSRP and discontinue the preparation of yearly CXs with the submission of this CX for the LANL domestic and foreign OSRP.  Yearly CX preparation is unnecessary as the OSRP is clearly covered under CX B2.6 and will result in saving of personnel time and budget.  The OSRP will still undergo a yearly evaluation to verify that project activities remain within the boundaries of the CX.
