Title: Evaluation of Air Quality Impacts from Addition of Boiler 5 at Naval Reactors Facility

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1498254· OSTI ID:1498254

This report documents an air-quality impact analysis of criteria air-pollutant emissions from the addition of Boiler 5 at NRF to support the permit application. Maximum increases in criteria air-pollutant concentrations resulting from Boiler 5 emissions were modeled and compared to significant contribution levels, as defined in IDAPA 58.01.01. Concentrations were calculated at each of 1352 potential public receptor locations on and around the INL Site, and reported at 1) receptor locations where the maximum concentrations occurred as a result of operating only Boiler 5, and 2) receptor locations where the maximum concentrations occurred as a result of baseline actual emissions (BAEs) from all significant INL sources considered in the INL Application for a Synthetic Minor Sitewide Air Quality Permit to Construct with Facility Emission Cap Component (DOE-ID 2017). Increases in criteria air pollutant concentrations resulting from operation of NRF Boiler 5 are considerably less than significant contribution levels at all INL public receptor locations.
