II. Discussion

On June 5, 2026, Energy Solutions submitted an application to the NRC for an import license (non-public ADAMS Accession No. ML26204A205). If approved, the license would allow Energy Solutions to transport Class A LLRW from the Province of Ontario, Canada for disposal at Energy Solutions' disposal facility in Clive, Utah. Energy Solutions requested a 10-year license to transport and dispose of up to 130,800 cubic yards (100 Terabecquerels [TBqs]) of Class A LLRW that has been generated by the civilian nuclear power industry within the Province of Ontario, Canada. Energy Solutions stated in its application that the total quantity of waste transported and disposed of under the proposed license would not exceed the amount allowed within Energy Solutions' radioactive material license (UT 2300249). The application specifies that the material may enter the continental United States from Ontario, Canada through entry ports in Port Huron, Michigan; Detroit, Michigan; or Buffalo, New York; and transit to Clive, Utah.

On December 19, 2025, the Northwest Interstate Compact on Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management (NWIC) and the State of Utah (as a voting member of the NWIC) approved the import of Class A LLRW from the Province of Ontario, Canada into the NWIC for disposal at the Energy Solutions' Clive, Utah disposal facility (non-public ADAMS Accession No. ML26204A205). This authorizing resolution limits the volume of waste to 1,305,000 cubic yards and describes additional permitting and licensing requirements that Energy Solutions must satisfy prior to disposal, such as obtaining an import waste permit from the NRC and a General Site Access Permit from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control.
