[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 85 (Tuesday, May 4, 1999)] [Notices] [Pages 23876-23877] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-11112] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 40-8681] Notice of Consideration of a License Amendment for International Uranium (USA) Corporation's White Mesa Uranium Mill and an Opportunity for a Hearing 2
Agency
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Summary
Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received, by letter dated March 2, 1999, an application from International Uranium (USA) Corporation (``IUSA'') to amend Source Material License No. SUA-1358 to allow for the receipt and processing of uranium-bearing material removed from various sites in the St. Louis, Missouri area. These sites are being remediated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in accordance with its responsibilities under the Formerly-Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP). Under the proposed license amendment, IUSA would process material shipped from the St. Louis area in its White Mesa uranium mill in Blanding, Utah, to recover usable uranium. IUSA would dispose of the tailings, or byproducts of this process in the existing 11(e)2 mill tailings pile at the site. This FUSRAP material from the St. Louis sites is considered to be an ``alternate feed'' material, i.e., an input material for uranium extraction that is different from natural ores containing uranium. Prior to the issuance of the amendment, NRC will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and NRC's regulations.
