MEETING SUMMARY OF 

INTERNATIONAL ISOTOPES FLUORINE PRODUCTS INC. 

DECONVERSION FACILITY MANAGEMENT 

DATE: July 1, 2010 

PLACE: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

 Rockville, Maryland 

ATTENDEES: See Attachment 1 

Purpose: 

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss management issues and project status related to 

the International Isotopes Fluorine Products Inc. (IIFP) license application for the Fluorine 

Products and Depleted Uranium Deconversion Facility (FEP/DUP). The list of meeting 

attendees (Attachment 1) and Meeting Agenda (Attachment 2) are attached. 

Discussion: 

IIFP provided an update on the project status for the FEP/DUP. A copy of a handout containing 

the projected milestones is attached (Attachment 3). IIFP provide a list of state and local 

permits they are working to obtain (Attachment 4). The land transfer from Lea County to IIFP is 

still ongoing. Once completed in the August 2010 timeframe, site characterization will begin. 

The contract for the detailed design engineer is scheduled to be put up for bid in September. 

IIFP also plans to request an exemption for pre-application construction sometime in the fall of 

2010, but they are waiting to submit the request until their design and build contractor is on 

board. NRC recommended that the sooner the request could be submitted the better. 

IIFP indicated they have purchased a number of large components from the decommissioned 

Sequoia Fuels Deconversion facility. They have a contractual agreement to move the 

equipment from the current storage facilities by the spring of 2011. IIFP requested input on the 

type of licensing that would be required to build a warehouse for possession and storage only 

on the IIFP site in New Mexico. NRC indicated a separate meeting should be scheduled to 

discuss the topic in greater detail. The NRC requested early notification of any new applications 

or exemption requests so the appropriate resources could be incorporated into the agencies 

planning. 

After the business portion of the meeting, members of the public were given an opportunity to 

ask questions or make comments. No additional questions were provided.
