The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to require that the
initial distribution of source material to exempt persons or general
licensees be explicitly authorized by a specific license, which would
include new reporting requirements.
The proposed rule is intended to
provide the Commission with more complete and timely information on the
types and quantities of source material distributed for use either
under exemption or by general licensees. In addition, the NRC is
proposing to modify the existing possession and use requirements of the
general license for small quantities of source material to better align
the requirements with current health and safety standards. Finally, the
NRC is proposing to revise, clarify, or delete certain source material
exemptions from licensing to make the exemptions more risk informed.
Submit comments on the rule by November 23, 2010.

Bill introduced in Congress to allow New Mexico to spend federal funds to cleanup abandoned uranium mines
U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman
proposed a bill that would allow New Mexico to spend federal funds to cleanup abandoned uranium mines. He submitted that proposal along with cosponsor U.S. Sen. Tom Udall to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Under the Abandoned Mine Land program, the U.S. Department of the Interior is authorized to collect revenue from coal companies for a fund that cleans up those abandoned mines. Each state receives a share of the AML fund, but the Interior Department currently restricts the ability of states to use some of that funding to clean up non-coal mines. As a result, New Mexico has not been able to focus the funding on one of its priorities - to clean up uranium mines.
Bingaman's legislation makes clear that those funds can be used for non-coal cleanup.
"New Mexico has more than 15,000 remaining mine openings with a vast majority of these being non-coal. Uranium mine reclamation is a particular priority in our state, but right now the state cannot tap into all of these federal funds to clean up abandoned uranium mines," said Bingaman, who chairs the Senate Energy Natural Resources Committee. "That doesn't make sense. This legislation would make it possible for New Mexico to use its share to clean up uranium mines and other non-coal mine sites."
The bill is now ready to be considered by the full Senate.

On Mar. 5, 2010, the Interior Department declared that an iconic Western bird deserves federal protection under the Endangered Species Act, but declined to offer that protection immediately -- a split decision that will allow oil and gas drilling to continue across large swaths of the mountainous West.
The department issued a so-called "warranted but precluded" designation for the Greater Sage Grouse, meaning that the bird merits protection but won't receive it for now because other species are a higher priority.
For practical purposes, the ruling leaves sage grouse protection largely in the hands of states.

The proposed rule would resolve inconsistencies in the NRC's regulations that currently exist between various Parts of Title 10 with respect to the terms "construction" and "commencement of construction," and would enable applicants for materials licenses to engage in non-safety or non-security related site preparation activities not related to radiological health and safety or common defense and security considerations without being in violation of the NRC's licensing requirements. Such activities may include clearing land, site grading and erosion control, and construction of main access roadways, non-security related guardhouses, utilities, parking lots, or administrative buildings not used to process, handle or store classified information.

On Tuesday (Jan. 26), environmental activists announced legislation that will be proposed in the Colorado state House of Representatives soon.
The Uranium Processing Accountability Act would require uranium processors to comply with clean-up orders before new applications are processed, strengthen public oversight of bonding requirements; require processors to inform residents about threats to their water if they have registered wells in close proximity to known groundwater contamination; and require processors to amend their operating license before accepting new sources of "alternate feeds."
The legislation would affect the Cotter uranium mill south of Cañon City.
The bill will be sponsored by Rep. Buffie McFadyen in the House and Sens. Ken Kester and Bob Bacon in the Senate.
(The Cañon City Daily Record Jan. 27, 2010)
The state House Transportation and Energy Committee, Thursday (Mar. 18), unanimously passed the Uranium Processing Accountability Act.
(The Cañon City Daily Record Mar. 19, 2010)
A bill that would require uranium mills to clean up past toxic pollution before applying to expand processing operations passed the state House on third reading Monday (Apr. 5), sailing through on a 62-2 vote. The bill now moves on to a Senate committee. (Colorado Independent Apr. 5, 2010)
The Senate voted 24-9 in favor of the bill Wednesday (Apr. 28). Later the House agreed with changes made in the Senate and readopted the bill by a vote of 60-3. It now goes to Gov. Bill Ritter.
Mills are now allowed to postpone cleanup until they finish production and decommission their facilities.
(AP Apr. 29, 2010)
Gov. Bill Ritter will be in Cañon City on Tuesday (June 8) to sign the Uranium Processing Accountability Act into law.
HB 1348 requires uranium processors to comply with clean-up orders before new applications are processed, strengthen public oversight of bonding requirements; require processors to inform residents about threats to their water if they have registered wells in close proximity to known groundwater contamination; and require processors to amend their operating license before accepting new sources of "alternate feeds."
Cotter Corp. mill officials have said the bill will make it impossible for them to begin processing ore again in the future.
In 2009, the company announced a plan to reopen as a heap leach facility in 2014, processing ore from the Mount Taylor mine in New Mexico.
Colorado Citizens Against ToxicWaste, a local group that has opposed Cotter restarting operations, partnered with Environment Colorado in developing the bill.
(Cañon City Daily Record June 7, 2010)
Colorado Governor Bill Ritter stood by the banks of the Arkansas River near a neighborhood contaminated by a uranium mill today and signed legislation that will force uranium mills to clean up existing messes before launching new projects.
"This just gives us a better hold on the milling process," Ritter said before signing the bill, a bipartisan measure sponsored by Rep. Buffie McFadyen, and Sens. Ken Kester and Bob Bacon.
"It's a relief to have it finalized," said Sharyn Cunningham, coordinator of Colorado Citizens Against Toxic Waste, which formed in 2002 to challenge Cotter's practices.
"Now we will begin to see - hopefully - clean up of the groundwater and soil in the area."

District Court rules in favor of environmentalists regarding DOE Uranium Leasing Program
U.S. District Court Judge Wiley Daniel ruled Thursday (Jan. 14) that a coalition of conservation groups suing the DOE could now question officials and obtain leasing records for a 42-square-mile uranium mining program environmentalists claim threatens water quality and wildlife habitat near the Dolores and San Miguel rivers in southwestern Colorado and eastern Utah.
"This is a big victory for the Dolores and San Miguel rivers and a good sign for our litigation," Travis Stills of the Durango-based Energy Minerals Law Center said in a release. His organization is representing the Colorado Environmental Coalition, Information Network for Responsible Mining, Center for Native Ecosystems and Center for Biological Diversity in a lawsuit filed against the DOE and the Bureau of Land Management in July of 2008.

The NRC has issued a Regulatory Issue Summary clarifying its position on the licensing requirements for satellite facilities for existing uranium in situ leach operations: For NRC staff to consider approving additions or enhancements to facilities not located at the existing licensed site through amendment of the existing ISR license, the licensee must show a "strong connection" between the proposed additions or enhancements and the existing licensed operations. The strong connection can be met by either of two ways:
- Operational Connection - Demonstrating that the new facility would not be
functional without the existing facility.
- Hydrogeologic Connection - An existing ISR licensee is proposing the addition of
a new ISR/resin operation involving well fields containing the ore zone, and
hydrogeologic conditions that are the same as the existing licensed ISR/resin
operations.

Colorado agency approves new rules to protect groundwater during in-situ leach uranium mining:
State officials have approved new rules intended to protect Colorado's groundwater during a type of uranium mining that extracts the mineral by injecting a solution underground.
The requirements approved Thursday (Aug. 12) by the Mined Land Reclamation Board include detailed environmental protection plans for uranium mines and maintaining existing groundwater quality or at state standards.
Mine applications must include detailed information on the pre-mining water quality. Public input will be allowed.
The rules carry out three laws passed by the Legislature in 2008 out of concern about in-situ, or "in place," mining, which injects a solution underground to dissolve and extract the mineral.
An in-situ uranium mine has been proposed about 70 miles north of Denver.
(AP Aug. 12, 2010)
Among the key provisions of the new rules:
- All uranium mines are now Designated Mining Operations, requiring detailed environmental protection plans.
- In-situ leach uranium mine applications must protect groundwater to existing conditions or to state ground water standards.
- In-situ leach uranium mine applications must demonstrate that the proposed mining technology has been used at five other locations without harming groundwater quality.
- In-situ leach uranium mine applications must include detailed baseline hydrology information.
- In-situ leach uranium mine applicants cannot receive a permit if the applicant is in violation at another operation.
- Prospecting notices are now largely public information.
- Public comment is now allowed on prospecting notices.
- DRMS may now assess in-situ leach uranium mine applicants for extraordinary costs associated with permit reviews.
The rules must be reviewed by the Attorney General for consistency with statute and the state Constitution. Following the Attorney General’s review, the final rules will be published by the Secretary of State and become effective 20 days later.

At the request of the Commission, NRC staff assessed the groundwater impacts of some currently licensed in-situ leach uranium mines:
COGEMA's Irigaray/Christensen Ranch facility and PRI's Smith Ranch/Highland Uranium Project facility in Wyoming and Crow Butte Resources' Crow Butte facility in Nebraska; sites in Texas were not included, however.
The following failure mechanisms were analyzed (surface spills of liquids were not considered):
- Residual constituent concentrations in excess of baseline concentrations after the restoration of the production aquifer
"[...] NRC has approved 11 groundwater restorations at the 3 facilities. The data show that over 60 percent of the constituents were restored to their pre-operational concentrations. Although the remaining constituents were restored to concentrations that were above baseline levels, they were all restored to levels that NRC staff found to be protective of public health and the environment."
- Migration of production liquids from the production aquifer to the surrounding
aquifers during operation
"[...] The data show over 60 events had occurred at the 3 facilities. For most of those events, the licensees were able to control and reverse them through pumping and extraction at nearby wells. Most excursions were shortlived, although a few of them continued for several years. None had resulted in environmental impacts."
- Mechanical failure of the subsurface well materials releasing production fluids into the overlying aquifers
"[...] The data indicates that a small percentage of the wells tested failed and they were replaced. One licensee also investigated the overlying aquifers and found no impacts for five of six MIT failures and mitigated the impact found from the remaining failure. The other two licensees did not specifically investigate the overlying aquifers; however, the aquifer above the production zone is continually monitored as part of the excursion monitoring program and data from that monitoring did not identify any impact attributable to well failure."
- Movement of constituents to groundwater outside the licensed area
"[...] The data from those monitoring programs do not show impacts attributable to the ISR facility. The staff is unaware of any situation indicating that: (1) the quality of groundwater at a nearby water supply well has been degraded; (2) the use of a water supply well has been discontinued; or (3) a well has been relocated because of impacts attributed to an ISR facility."

On July 13, 2009, the U.S. EPA announced that it has identified the hardrock mining industry as its priority for developing financial assurance requirements. Financial assurance requirements help ensure that owners and operators of these facilities, not taxpayers, foot the bill for environmental cleanup. These requirements will be developed under section 108(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, commonly called "Superfund." EPA plans to propose the rule by spring of 2011. The agency will publish a notice of this priority in the Federal Register, which is the first step toward developing the requirements.
Hardrock mining facilities include those that extract, beneficiate and process metals (including uranium) and non-metallic, non-fuel minerals.

EPA and plaintiffs reach agreement on review and possible revision of radon emission standard for operating uranium mill tailings
An agreement reached between the Environmental Protection Agency and plaintiffs in a lawsuit could result in stronger limits on radon emissions from uranium mills, including a proposed operation near Naturita, between Durango and Grand Junction.
Colorado Citizens Against ToxicWaste
, representing concerned residents living near the Cotter mill in Cañon City, and WildEarth Guardians
filed the suit in 2008, according to a news release from the Cañon City group.
The lawsuit and settlement were reached with the help of the Energy Minerals Law Center, a Durango-based nonprofit.
Travis Stills, an attorney with the law center, said in a phone interview Sunday that the settlement compels the EPA to revisit its limits on the radioactive gas, which haven't been reviewed or changed in 20 years.
It also requires the agency to take various strides to ensure the public is included in the drafting of the new rules.
(Durango Herald Sep. 7, 2009)
Written comments on the proposed settlement agreement must be
received by October 5, 2009.

EPA to hold meeting on review and possible revision of radon emission standard for operating uranium mill tailings
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
, in conjunction with the Colorado Citizens Against Toxic Waste (CCAT)
and Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action, will hold a public meeting in Cañon City, Colorado, on June 30, 2009. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss EPA's review and possible revision of 40 CFR 61 Subpart W.
The National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Subpart W is the radon emission standard for operating uranium mill tailings. Members of EPA will discuss the Agency's plan in reviewing and possibly revising this standard. Additionally, members of the public will be invited to participate in a question and answer session after the presentation.

"Over twenty years ago, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission recommended that the limit or standard be set at 2 pico Curies per square-meter per second (pCi/m2-sec). Instead, the EPA set the limit at 20 pCi/m2sec. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required EPA to review this standard and, if appropriate, revise it within ten years. EPA failed to perform this non-discretionary duty by 2001."

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is
proposing to amend its regulations that govern the export and import of
nuclear equipment and material. In addition to updating, clarifying and
correcting several provisions, this proposed rule would allow Category
1 and 2 quantities of materials listed in the Commission's regulations
to be imported under a general license. The proposed rule would also
revise the definition of "radioactive waste" and remove the
definition of "incidental radioactive material."
The comment period for this proposed rule ends on September 8, 2009.

The staff recognizes that NUREG-1569, "Standard Review Plan for In Situ Leach Uranium Extraction License Applications,"
provides guidance that is not consistent with the requirements in Criterion 5B of Appendix A discussed above. In particular, the NUREG-1569 discussion of groundwater restoration to "pre-operational class of use" as being a secondary standard is not
accurate, and is not an appropriate standard to use in evaluating license applications. Criterion 5B contains the appropriate standards that will be applied to groundwater restoration at ISR facilities. [emphasis added]
As indicated above, the staff is now working with the EPA to resolve groundwater protection issues at ISR facilities and to revise Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 40 accordingly.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking public comment on regulatory issues and options for potential changes to the agency's radiation protection regulations, to achieve greater alignment between the regulations and the 2007 recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP).
The NRC believes that the agency's current regulations continue to provide adequate protection of health and safety of workers, the public and the environment. The ICRP recommendations, contained in ICRP Publication 103 (2007), propose measures that go beyond what is needed to provide adequate protection. In a Staff Requirements Memorandum dated April 2, 2009, the Commission directed the staff to engage stakeholders and interested parties on the benefits and burdens of any potential regulatory changes based on the ICRP recommendations.
The staff will use public comments over the next two to three years to develop a technical basis for potential rulemaking, for presentation to the Commission.
"The Commission is concerned about the potential impact of effectively lowering the occupational dose limit to 2 rem [20 mSv] (from the current 5 rem [50 mSv]) per year," the Commission said in the memorandum.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to
issue a regulatory issue summary (RIS) to present its interpretation of
the regulations governing the commencement of construction found in 10
CFR 40.32(e).
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this regulatory issue summary (RIS) to inform addressees of the NRC's policy regarding pre-licensing construction activities at proposed uranium recovery facilities of all types (conventional mills, heap leach, and in situ recovery (ISR) facilities). The NRC is issuing this RIS in response to industry inquiries regarding the activities that applicants may undertake prior to receiving a license.
While the uranium industry interprets the regulations thus that pre-licensing construction activities are forbidden only for conventional mills, NRC staff maintains that this applies to all types of uranium recovery facilities. The applicant, therefore, must submit an exemption request before initiating any pre-licensing construction activities.
Comment period expires April 27, 2009.
