SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuance of a license amendment to 

Sequoyah Fuels Corporation (SFC or 

licensee) for License No. SUB–1010. 

This action would authorize SFC to 

implement the groundwater corrective 

action plan (CAP) proposed for its site 

in Gore, Oklahoma. SFC’s proposal for 

the CAP was first submitted to the NRC 

by letter dated June 16, 2003, and was 

supplemented by additional information 

submitted to the NRC by letters dated, 

December 16, 2005, July 2, 2009, and 

July 31, 2009. By letter dated August 18, 

2010, SFC submitted a June 14, 2010, 

revision of the CAP that encompasses 

all supplements in a single document. 

NRC previously issued an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

in support of this action in accordance 

with the requirements of 10 CFR part 

51. See NUREG–1888, ‘‘Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Reclamation of 

the Sequoyah Fuels Corporation Site in 

Gore, Oklahoma,’’ issued May 2008. 

II. Proposed Action 

The purpose of this proposed CAP is 

to remediate existing groundwater 

contamination and to facilitate the 

eventual termination of License No. 

SUB–1010. This CAP is part of an 

overall site reclamation program 

described in SFC’s Reclamation Plan 

(RP) dated January 2003. SFC’s RP was 

reviewed and approved by NRC on 

April 20, 2009 (License Amendment 

33). Whereas the RP primarily addresses 

the site decommissioning, disposal cell 

construction, and surface reclamation, 

the CAP addresses residual 

contamination in groundwater. 

III. NRC Review 

The NRC staff reviewed the CAP and 

supporting documents using Section 4.0 

of 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,’’ Rev. 1, issued June 

2003. The staff’s review process 

included evaluating the site 

hydrogeology particularly with respect 

to the locations and types of 

groundwater restoration structures. 

Effectiveness of the proposed action was 

then evaluated by reviewing flow and 

transport models, as well as actual 

volume and concentration data from the 

current structures. Finally, the staff 

reviewed groundwater flow and 

contaminant transport models to 

evaluate the long-term groundwater 

contaminant concentrations and 

pollutant loads during and after 

corrective actions are completed. 

SFC’s CAP specifies the use of 

interceptor trenches and recovery wells 

placed in hydrologically strategic 

positions to intercept groundwater 

contamination remaining onsite. The 

CAP does not draw back any 

contamination that has passed the 

extraction points. Consequently, the 

CAP allows small pollutant loads 

(defined as pollutant concentration x 

volumetric flow) to enter the surface 

water system. However, NRC staff 

determined that the pollutant loads to 

surface water pose little threat to human 

health and safety and the environment. 

A Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated 

September 20, 2010 (ML101170749) 

documents the NRC staff’s technical 

review of the CAP to determine its 

compliance with 10 CFR Part 40, 

Appendix A. 

SFC’s request for the proposed 

amendment was previously noticed in 

the Federal Register (68 FR 51033; Aug. 

25, 2003) with a notice of an 

opportunity to request a hearing. The 

State of Oklahoma and the Cherokee 

Nation submitted requests for hearing 

on September 29, 2003 and October 2, 

2003, respectively. Both requests were 

subsequently denied on November 19, 

2003. No other comments or requests for 

a hearing were received. 

The Final EIS for the Reclamation of 

the Sequoyah Fuels Corporation Site in 

Gore, Oklahoma (NUREG–1888) was 

issued on May 20, 2008. 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 

RP, would not result in a significant 

adverse impact on the environment. 

The findings, required by the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

necessary to support the proposed site 

reclamation activities will be 

documented in an SER that will be 

issued in connection with this license 

amendment.

including the application for 

amendment and supporting 

documentation, are available
