SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

As stated previously, in response to 

several requests during the public 

comment period, the NRC is extending 

the Draft SEIS comment period close

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuing a license amendment to 

Materials License No. SUA–56, held by 

Western Nuclear, Inc. (WNI), to 

authorize revised groundwater 

protection standards for its facility near 

Jeffrey City, Wyoming. On June 19, 

1981, WNI announced that the facility 

would be placed on standby because of 

a diminishing demand for the ore and 

because of depressed uranium prices. 

The facility remained on standby until 

1986 when the NRC staff amended the 

license to terminate the use of the 

tailings impoundments for disposal, and 

WNI was required to submit a tailings 

reclamation plan. On December 1, 2008, 

as supplemented by a February 7, 2009, 

submittal, WNI submitted a license 

amendment request for revised 

groundwater protection standards. On
