SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – INTERNATIONAL ISOTOPES 

FLUORINE PRODUCTS LICENSE APPLICATION FOR THE PROPOSED 

DECONVERSION FACILITY (TAC 32739) 

Dear Mr. Miller: 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed its initial technical 

review regarding the safety and security areas of your license application for the International 

Isotopes Fluorine Products, Inc. for the Fluorine Extraction Process and Depleted Uranium 

Deconversion facility, which is proposed to be constructed and operated in Lea County, New 

Mexico. Your application was transmitted by letter dated December 30, 2009. Our review of 

your application has identified that additional information is needed before the staff can reach a 

final safety decision. 

The enclosed Request for Additional Information (RAI) addresses the majority of review areas 

for the safety portion of the license application—but does not include RAIs for human factors, 

electrical/digital instrumentation and control, and the environmental report. RAIs associated 

with the review of these additional sections will be provided at a later date. 

Please provide the additional information requested in the attachments within 30 days of the 

date of this letter. 

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390 of the NRC’s “Rules of 

Practice,” a copy of this letter and Enclosure 1 will be available electronically for public 

inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC’s Agencywide Documents 

Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). 

Enclosure 2 contains Sensitive-Unclassified security information; and is, therefore, deemed 

Official Use Only and will neither be placed in the Public Document Room or the Publicly 

Available Records component of the NRC's ADAMS. As you are aware, the NRC’s Regulatory 

Issue Summary 2005-31 provides guidance for the handling and submission of Security-Related 

Sensitive Unclassified Non-safeguards information by applicants. 

The Enclosure contains OUO-Security 

Related Information. When detached 

from Enclosure, this letter is decontrolled.
