Notice of License Amendment for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering issuance of a 

license amendment to Sequoyah Fuels 

Corporation (SFC or licensee) for 

License No. SUB–1010. This action will 

approve the licensee’s Reclamation Plan 

for its Gore, Oklahoma site, thereby 

authorizing (1) the excavation of 

contaminated soil and buried waste 

located there; and (2) the construction of 

an onsite disposal cell to isolate these 

wastes from the environment. In 

cooperation with the Environmental 

Protection Agency, the NRC in May 

2008 published NUREG–1888, an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

in support of this site reclamation 

action. 

II. Proposed Action 

Approval of the Reclamation Plan will 

facilitate decommissioning and the 

eventual termination of License No. 

SUB–1010. Remediation of existing 

ground water contamination is not part 

of the proposed action. SFC has 

submitted a ground water corrective 

action plan that is still under NRC staff 

review. However, implementation of the 

Reclamation Plan will facilitate the 

subsequent clean-up of the site’s ground 

water. 

As identified by SFC, the proposed 

reclamation consists of the following 

elements: 

• Construction of an above-grade, 

engineered disposal cell on the SFC site 

for permanent disposition of the SFC 

decommissioning and reclamation 

wastes; 

• Removal of sludges and sediments 

from the ponds and lagoons, excavation 

of buried low-level wastes, removal of 

stored soils and debris, and placement 

of these materials into the disposal cell; 

• Dismantlement of process 

equipment, followed by recovery of 

gross quantities of contained uranium; 

• Size reduction/compaction of 

process equipment, piping, and 

structural materials (including scrap 

metal, empty drums, and packaged 

wastes that will accumulate before 

decommissioning) to satisfy disposal 

requirements for maximum void 

volume; 

• Dismantlement/demolition of 

structures except for the new SFC 

administrative office building and the 

storm water impoundment; 

• Demolition of concrete floors, 

foundations, and storage pads and 

asphalt or concrete paved roadways 

outside the footprint of the cell; 

• Removal of clay liners and/or 

contaminated soils from under 

impoundments; 

• Excavation of underground utilities, 

contaminated sand backfill from utility 

trenches and building foundation areas, 

and more highly contaminated soils 

under the cell footprint; 

• Excavation of contaminated soils 

lying outside the footprint of the 

disposal cell that exceed site-specific 

radiological cleanup criteria; 

• Handling and treatment of 

produced ground water and storm water 

during cell construction; 

• Placement of all SFC 

decommissioning wastes into the onsite 

disposal cell, followed by capping and 

closure of the cell; and 

• Regrading of the site, backfilling of 

excavations to the finished grade, and 

revegetation. 

III. NRC Review 

The NRC staff reviewed the licensee’s 

reclamation plan in accordance with 

NUREG–1620, ‘‘Standard Review Plan 

for the Review of a Reclamation Plan for 

Mill Tailings Sites Under Title II of the 

Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation 

Control Act of 1978,’’ Final Revision 1, 

issued June 2003. The review is a 

comprehensive assessment of SFC’s 

reclamation plan. Most of the 

contaminated material is classified 

under Appendix A to 10 CFR part 40 as 

Section 11e.(2) byproduct material. 

Appendix A to 10 CFR part 40 contains 

the technical requirements for 

disposition of Section 11e.(2) byproduct 

material. Following the guidance 

provided in NUREG–1620, the NRC 

staff’s review of SFC’s reclamation plan 

was organized by the technical 

disciplines involved in the assessment 

of the reclamation plan to ensure 

compliance with Appendix A. The 

staff’s review covered such 

considerations as geologic, seismic, 

geotechnical, and surface erosional 

aspects of long-term stability, the 

compliance with ground water 

standards, radiation protection 

including radon emanation controls, 

and SFC’s proposal to include placing 

the onsite radioactive waste that cannot 

be classified as 11e.(2) byproduct 

material in the disposal cell. 

SFC’s request for the proposed 

amendment was previously noticed in 

the Federal Register on May 28, 2008 

(73 FR 30646–30647) with a Notice of 

an Opportunity to Request a Hearing. 

No comments or request for a hearing 

were received. 

The EIS documented the NRC staff’s 

determination that all steps in the 

proposed reclamation could be 

accomplished in compliance with the 

NRC public and occupational dose 

limits, effluent release limits, and 

residual radioactive material limits. In 

addition, the EIS concluded that 

approval of the proposed action, in 

accordance with the commitments in 

NRC License SUB–1010 and the final 

reclamation plan, would not result in a 

significant adverse impact on the 

environment. 

The safety findings (required by the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended) necessary to support the 

approval of the Reclamation Plan are 

documented in a Safety Evaluation 

Report (SER) that will be issued in 

connection with this license 

amendment. 

IV. Further Information

including the application for 

amendment and supporting 

documentation, are available
