Title: Part 51 Review of Amendment Request From Boston
University
See the memorandum from V. L. Miller to J. E. Glenn dated
January 27, 1986. This memo states that the proposed
amendment request from Boston University to conduct a
limited field study involving 15 microcuries of Zn-65,
Sr-85, or Se-75 for each of 30 prairie dogs would not need
an environmental assessment since the study fell within the
categorical exclusion of 10 CFR 51.22 (c) (14) (v).
The proposed action was a limited field study involving
about 15 microcuries of zinc-65, strontium-85, and
selenium-75 for each of 30 prairie dogs. An environmental
assessment for the proposal was not needed because the
half-lives of the radioactive material were short and 10
microcuries is an exempt quantity. The proposed study
would have negligible radiological impact and falls within
the categorical exclusion of 10 CFR 51.22 (c) (14) (v).
