The call was initiated to obtain clarification on two topics raised during the acceptance review of 

the Environmental Report. The first topic addressed the location of the International Isotopes 

(INIS) 40 acre facility within the 640 acre property, located in Lea County, New Mexico. The 

environmental Project Manger (EPM) indicated the location of the 40 acres should be provided 

to support formal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the State Historic Preservation 

Officer as required under the National Environmental Policy Act. INIS stated the final location 

would be determined in May or April, 2010, once the land is transferred to INIS from the state 

and the final engineering surveys are completed. Receipt of the final location within the 

timeframe specified, is not anticipated to cause delays in the environmental review. 

The second topic addressed the potential impacts on the facility due to local gas and oil 

exploration. Additional clarification was requested for the location of either injection or recovery 

wells near the facility. INIS indicated there are no active wells on the 640 acre site, and the 

locations of previously active wells in the area are under investigation. INIS also indicated that 

impacts from the oil and gas industry are minimal when compared to the design basis events. 

These discussions supported the environmental acceptance review.
