Content:
guidance on the format and content of an application for a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) source material license authorizing uranium milling activities. Based on the NRC staff’s licensing experience over the last nine years, RG 3.5 does not provide sufficient detail information necessary for an applicant to submit a complete application. This RG was never finalized and the latest version available to the public states that the guide is for public comment. The RG is also listing the use of NRC Form 2 for an application for a uranium milling license. This Form has been replaced by NRC Form 313, “Application for Materials License,” as specified in 10 CFR Part 40.43, “Renewal of license,” and 10 CFR Part 40.44, “Amendment of licenses at request of licensee.” In November 2014, the NRC staff issued NUREG-2126, “Standard Review Plan for Conventional Uranium Mill and Heap Leach Facilities, Draft Report for Comment.” The purpose of this standard review plan (SRP) is to provide guidance to the NRC staff for safety reviews of licensee applications to develop and operate conventional uranium mills or heap leach facilities. The SRP provides more recent and detailed information related to the licensing of conventional mills or heap leach facilities than the information found in RG 3.5. 2. What is the impact on internal and external stakeholders of not updating the RG for the known issues, in terms of anticipated numbers of licensing and inspection activities over the next several years? RG 3.5 has no impact on licensing and inspection activities since the NRC staff is not expecting any new applications for conventional mills in the next several years. 3. What is an estimate of the level of effort needed to address identified issues in terms of full-time equivalent (FTE) and contractor resources? An estimate of the effort needed to correct the identified issues is between 1 and 2 FTE. 2 4. Based on the answers to the questions above, what is the NRC
