SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Discussion The NRC staff has conducted inspections of the Louisiana Energy Services (LES), LLC, National enrichment Facility in Eunice, New Mexico, and has verified that cascades number 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 2.1, and 2.4 as well as autoclave one of the facility have been constructed in accordance with the requirements of the approved license. The NRC staff has prepared inspection reports documenting its findings in accordance with the requirements of the NRC Inspection Manual. As a result of these inspections, on November 15, 2011, the Commission authorized the licensee to start operation of cascade number 1.5. On December 2, 2011, the Commission authorized the licensee to start operation of Autoclave one. On December 21, 2011, the Commission authorized the licensee to start operation of cascade number 1.6. On January 23, 2012, the Commission authorized the licensee to start operation of cascade number 1.7. Finally, on March 1, 2012, the Commission authorized the licensee to start operations of cascades numbered 1.8, 2.1, and 2.4. The publication of this Notice satisfies the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 70.32 (k) and Section 193(c) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The introduction of uranium hexafluoride into any module of the National Enrichment Facility is not permitted until the Commission completes an operational readiness and management measures verification review to verify that management measures that ensure compliance with the performance requirements of 10 CFR 70.61 have been implemented and confirms that the facility has been constructed in accordance with the license and will be operated safely. Subsequent operational readiness and management measures verification reviews will continue throughout the various phases of plant construction and, upon completion of these subsequent phases, additional notices will be posted to verify that the phase in question has been constructed in accordance with the license and to acknowledge licensee readiness for operations.
