Inspection Summary
The inspection covered internal and extemal monitoring of radiation workers at the White Mesa
Mill. Inspecfion points for intemal monitoring included breathing zone (BZ) and general area air
sampling focusing on frequency and locations of roufine uranium dust monitoring, adherence to
procedures as to the frequency of breathing zone air sampling of personnel working in higher
exposure locafions (i.e., yellowcake production and packaging), calibration of air sampling
equipment and documentafion of air sampling results. The inspectors also evaluated aspects ofthe
bioassay program including frequency of personnel sampling and routine contaminafion surveys of
the bioassay sample preparation area.
Extemal monitoring focused on the use and storage of personnel monitoring devices (GSL badges)
and monitoring of declared pregnant workers at the Mill. There were no declared pregnant workers at
the Mill within the past two years.
Although the inspection consisted primarily of document review, the inspectors also performed a
visual inspection to verify radiological postings and controls in airbome radioacfivity areas within
the Mill. Also, follow-up items included observation of personnel exit monitoring and adherence to
monitoring badge procedures.

Opening Meeting
DRC Inspectors John Hultquist and Kevin Camey met with Dave Turk, Rich Bartlett and Ron
Nieves of Denison Mines at 8:30 a.m. on June 8,2010. The inspectors informed the Mill staff of the
focus of the inspection and requested documentation needed to support the task. The inspectors also
asked for an escort into the Mill to observe Mill operations.
Findings
Overall performance of inspection items was found to be good with some deficiencies noted. No
violations were cited during the inspecfion. The deficiencies are detailed below.
Deficiencies:
Item 1. Documentation of BZ air sampler calibrafion:
• BZ calibration is being performed but is poorly document^. Although changes have been
made to the BZ calibrafion documentafion, the cal informafion is still being noted on a log
sheet in lieu of a separate calibration form for each sampler.
Item 2. Procedure discrepancy for BZ air sampler calibration:
• The Mill's Radiafion Protection Manual Secfion 1.1.2.4 states: "Prior to use, calibration of
breathing zone air samplers will be done using the Bubble Tube Calibration method,
described in Section 3.2.1." The Mill now performs these calibrations using the Electronic
Calibrafion Method outlined in Section 3.2.3 of the RP Manual. This was noted in a previous
inspecfion but has yet to be changed.
Item 3. Area air sampler calibration:
• The Mill's Radiation Protecfion Manual Secfion 1.1.3.2 references Section 3.6 of the Manual
for calibration. This section does not exist in the Manual. Section 1.1.3.2 needs to be revised
to include a reference to Secfion 3.3 of the Manual for Area Air Sampler Calibrafion.
• The Radiation Protection Manual requires area air samplers to be calibrated "prior to each
usage." The calibration log sheet indicated that no calibrafions were performed between
January 2, 2010 and June 7, 2010.
Follow-up Items
• The Inspectors observed personnel performing exit monitoring at several restricted area exits.
Exit monitoring among personnel observed was adequate and no deficiencies were noted.
• The Inspectors also observed radiological postings and verified workers wearing their
monitoring badges while inside the restricted area of the Mill. No deficiencies were noted.

2010\lnspection Repon 6-16-2010.doc
• A previous inspecfion noted that the Mill was using I.O micron filters when performing area
air samples while the Radiation Protection Manual required the use of 0.8 micron filters. The
Mill has since revised the Manual and no longer requires these filters. No deficiencies were
noted.
• A previous inspecfion noted that the BZ field sampling sheets did not include the wearer's
name on the form. The Mill has since developed a form entitled, "BZ's for YC Packagers" to
document this informafion. No deficiencies were noted.
• A previous inspection noted that the Mill had changed the method of storing personnel
monitoring badges but failed to revise the procedure to reflect these changes. The Mill has
since revised the procedure and is consistent with the current method of storing the badges.
No deficiencies were noted.
Closeout Meeting
The closeout meeting was held on Wednesday moming June 9,2010. Present were DRC personnel
John Hultquist and Kevin Carney along with Dave Turk, Rich Bartlett and Ron Nieves of Denison
Mines. The Inspectors discussed the results of the inspection and the findings that were noted. The
deficiencies were discussed and the licensee's responses are noted below.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Item 1. Documentafion of BZ air sampler calibration:
The licensee informed the inspectors that the BZ calibration forms will be updated to include
all information needed to be documented. Prior to the end of the inspection, the Lead
Radiafion Safety Technician developed a form to be used during calibrafion that links the
information together. The DRC recommends that the licensee confinue with this approach
and develop a system whereby every BZ calibration is documented on a separate form that
includes all of the relevant information pertaining to the individual calibrafion. No violafion
is recommended.
Item 2. Procedure discrepancy for BZ air sampler calibrafion:
The Site RSO communicated that this was an oversight and agreed to get the procedure
revised. No violation is recommended.
Item 3. Area air sampler calibration:
The Site RSO stated that he will pursue development of a system for area air samplers
similar to that being developed for the BZ air samplers whereby every calibrafion is
documented on a separate form that includes all of the relevant informafion pertaining to the
individual calibrafion. The Site RSO also stated that he will research the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) and other standards for guidance on air sampler calibrafion and
documentafion. The DRC will work with the licensee to ensure that these changes are in
accordance with Utah mles and industry standards. No violation is recommended.

Radiation Protection Manual, Section 1.1.3.1. Frequency and Locafions
The following principles used for the collection of area grab samples must be considered when collecting a
sample in order to obtain a representative concentration that workers may be exposed to during their assigned
work tasks.
1. The locations selected for sampling should be representative of exposures to employees working in the area.
2. For special air sampling, the sampling period should represent the conditions during the entire period of
exposure. This may involve sampling during the entire exposure period.
3. For routine sampling, the sampling period must be sufficient to ensure a minimum flow rate of 40 liters per
minute for at least 60 minutes.
4. Sample filters will be analyzed for gross alpha using a sensitive alpha detector.
5. Grab sampling procedures may be supplemented by use of Breathing Zone Samples for special jobs or non-
routine situations.
5) Are area grab samples obtained in areas representative of workers exposure?
Yes^ NoD
Comments: Area samplers are placed as close to workers' locations as possible.
5a) For roufine sampling, did the licensee sample at a minimum flow rate of 40 liters per minute for at least 60
minutes?
YeslEl NoD
Comments: Reviewed records from March/April/May 2010. All area samplers were operated at 40 Ipm for at
least 60 minutes except at the Dump Stafion (area BA28). The sample was taken at 4 1pm for 120 minutes with a
BZ sampler due to the lack of 120v AC electricity. However, the Dump Stafion is no longer considered a
'frequenfiy occupied' area of the Mill.
5b) Were air sample filters analyzed for gross alpha using a sensifive alpha detector?
Yes[3 NoD
Comments: Samples were counted using either a Ludlum 2929 or Ludlum 2200 scaler. Both instmments are
capable of detecfing alpha at an appropriate efficiency.

RML License Condition 11.4
Annually, the licensee shall collect, during mill operations, a set of air samples covering eight hours of sampling,
at a high collection flow rate (i.e., greater than or equal to 40 liters per minute), in routinely or frequently
occupied areas of the mill. These samples shall be analyzed for gross alpha. In addition, with each change in
mill feed material or at least annually, the licensee shall analyze the mill feed or production product for U-nat,
Th-230, Ra-226, and Pb-210 arid use the analysis results to assess the fundamental constituent composition of air
sample particulates.
6) Did the licensee perform high volume alpha air sampling in routinely or frequently occupied areas of the mill
in accordance with L.C. 11.4?
Yes|^ NoD
Comments: Annual air samples were taken in April 2010 for the current year.
6a) Did the air samples cover eight hours of sampling, at a high collecfion flow rate (i.e., greater than or equal
to 40 liters per minute)?
YeslEl NoD
Comments: All annual area samplers were operated at 40 1pm for at least 480 minutes except at the Dump Stafion
(area BA28). This sample was taken at 4 1pm for 120 minutes with a BZ sampler due to the lack of 120v AC
power in the area. However, the Dump Station is no longer considered a 'frequenfiy occupied' area ofthe Mill.
6b) With each change in mill feed material or at least annually, did the licensee analyze the mill feed or
production product for U-nat, Th-230, Ra-226, and Pb-210 and use the analysis results to assess the
fundamental constituent composition of air sample particulates?
YeslXI NoD
Comments: Annual sampling and analysis is performed for all aitemate feed materials that are currently on site.
DAC values used for airbome monitoring are based on the current materials being processed at the Mill.
Radiafion Protecfion Manual, Secfion 1.1.3.2 Sampling Equipment
Monitoring equipment will be capable of obtaining an air sample flow rate of at least 40 liters per minute for one
hour or longer. Equipment utilized will be an Eberline RAS-1, or a Scientific Industries Model H25004, or
equivalent. Filter media will have a maximum of 0.8 micron pore diameter. Equipment is calibrated prior to each

7) Are calibrafions for area air samplers being performed and documented prior to usage?
YeslEI NoD
Comments: Secfion 1.1.3.2 of the Radiation Protection Manual needs to be updated to include a reference to
section 3.3 of the manual for the calibration procedure. The Mill staff will revise the procedure to reflect this
change.
7a) Is the licensee using air sample filters that have a maximum of 0.8 micron pore diameter?
YesDNolE
Comments: Based on discussions during a previous IEM-01 inspection, the Mill has removed the requirement of
using the 0.8 micron filter. The Mill currently uses a 1.0 micron filter which is appropriate for their sampling
requirements.
8) Are calibrafions for area samplers being performed and documented in accordance with Section 3.3 of this
Manual?
YesD No^*
Comments: The Radiation Protection Manual requires area air samplers to be calibrated 'prior to eaich use.' The
DRC inspectors agree with the RSO that this requirement may be too stringent. The Mill is seeking DRC
recommendafions and will also research ANSI calibrafion and documentation standards for area samplers.

BIOASSAY PROGRAM
Radiation Protecfion Manual, Section 1.4.1 Frequency
Urinalysis will be performed on those employees that are a) exposed to airbome yellowcake or involved in
maintenance tasks during which yellowcake dust may be produced, or b) routinely exposed to airbome uranium
ore dust. Baseline urinalysis will be performed prior to initial work assignments.
Urine samples are collected on a routine basis from mill employees as required in Regulatory Guide 8.22. Urine
samples will be collected from employees who have worked in yellowcake packaging, yellowcake precipitation,
grind area (SAG Mill), ore feed, sample plant, scale house, and the sample preparation room every two weeks
during production periods. Samples will be collected from all other employees monthly during production
periods. During non-production periods, bi-weekly samples will be collected if individual exposures are expected
to exceed 25% of the DAC value otherwise samples will be collected from all employees quarterly. Non-routine
urinalysis will usually be performed on employees who have been working on assignments that require a
Radiation Work Permit, and always on any individual that may have been exposed to airbome uranium or ore
dust concentrations that exceed 25% of the DAC level

13) Secfion 1.3 Beta-Gamma Surveys
Were all observed personnel wearing a personal monitoring badge while in the Restricted Area?
YesIEl NoD
Comments:
Secfion 1.3.1 Monitoring Procedures
The monitoring procedures consist of:
1. Personnel issued personal monitoring devices will wear the device on the trunk (torso) of the body or visibly
on the exterior of their hard hat. The personal monitoring device records beta/gamma radiation as well as
other forms of penetrating radiation such as x-rays. A personal monitoring device is an exposure record of an
individual's personal exposure to radiation while on the job. Therefore, personal monitoring devices are to
remain at the Mill in the personal possession of each individual, in a locker or other secure area. All exposure
records obtained by a personal monitoring device which are not consistent with the exposure rates of work
tasks or work location measurements made throughout the Mill will be evaluated by the RSO. This evaluation
will result in an investigation by the RSO and a written explanation of the findings. These written records will
be maintained at the Mill.
2. Personal monitoring devices will be issued at a minimum quarterly and will be exchanged by the Radiation
Safety Department. Missing or lost badges will be reported to management.
3. Female employees that become pregnant and continue to work during the course of their pregnancy will be
placed on a monthly personal monitoring device exchange during this period. NRC Regulatory Guide 8.13
provides guidelines to be followed during pregnancy and is made part of this procedure.

DISCUSSION of FINDINGS
Several discrepancies were noted and conveyed to the Mill staff. Several procedural deficiencies were noted. Tt
was discussed with the Mill's staff that calihration records for air sampling equipment were less than adequate.
Specifically, air sampler calibrations are noted on a ninning log sheet that only lists minimal information
pertaining to the calibration. Tt was discussed with the Mill's staff that .separate calihration certificates for each
sampler would he more appropriate. No NOVs were issued for this inspection.
SITE STAFF COMMENTS
The Mill's staff tended to agree with the PRC's findings. Prior to the closeout meefing, the Radiafion Safety
Lead Technician presented a draft calihration form for the breathing zone air samplers. This form was
developed during the inspection and presented at the closeout meeting. The staff communicated that they would
look into the ANSI standards for further guidance on air sampler calihration documentation. The staff also
acknowledged the procedural deficiencies noted hy the DRC and agreed to make the necessary changes.

OPENING MEETING
DISCUSSION
DRC personnel discussed the .scope ofthe inspection with Denison Mines' White Mesa Mill staff. It was
conveyed to the Mill's staff that we would he reviewing documentation on the Mill's personnel monitoring and
air sampling programs. We also requested to enter the Mill and observe personnel exit monitoring as well as
radiological postings and controls. Other items were discussed including production staUis. facility upgrades
and personnel changes at the Mill. Mr. Ron Nieves was assigned to escort and help the DRC staff in completing
the inspection. ,

orjf the meter, is_b.eliey.e.d_to^have been damaged.
The methods described in Section F of "Air SEtnw]
pling Instruments"^ to calibrate airflow meters arej
acceptable to the NRC staff. J ~
5.3 Uncertainty
The uncenainty in the volume of air sampled
should be less than 20 percent. The uncertainty, Uy.
in percent may be calculated from the equation:
Uv = lUj + + U?]"^
where: U, = the percent uncertainty in reading
the meter scale
Uc = the percent uncertainty in deter-
mining the calibration factor
Ut = the percent uncertainty in the
measurement of the sampling
time.
5.4 Inleakage
Air samplers and associated sampling lines
should be checked for leakage of air into the sam-
pling line upstream of the flow measurement device
when they are calibrated for volume of air sampled.
5.5 Change in Flow Rate
If the flow rate changes by more than ±10 per-
cent during collection of a sample, a correction
should be made by averaging the initial and the final
flow rates.
6. EVALUATION OF SAMPLING RESULTS
6.1 Detecting Changes in Air Concentrations
Over Time
For fixed-location sampling whose purpose is to
confirm confinement of radioactive materials for rou-
tine or repeated operations, the results should either
(1) be analyzed for trends (for example, by control
charts) to determine whether airborne concentrations
are within the normal range and administrative and
engineering controls are thus operadng properly to
maintain occupational doses as low as is reasonably
achievable or (2) be compared with administrative
action levels that serve as a basis for determining
when confinement is satisfactory.
6.2 Efficiency of Collection Media
If the efficiency of the collection media (such as
filters) for an air sample is less than 95 percent for
the material being collected, the sample result should
be corrected to account for radioactive material not
collected by the collection media. If penetration of
radioactive material into the collection media or self-
absorption of radiation by the material collected
would reduce the count rate by more than 5 percent,
a correction factor should be used.
6.3 Detection Sensitivity
The 10 CFR Part 20 monitoring criteria (i.e., 10
percent of the limit) do not establish required levels
of detection sensitivity (lower level of detection, mini-
mum detectable activity, minimum detectable con-
centration, etc.). For example, lapel samplers may
not be able to detect uranium concentradons of 10
percent of the DAC, but lapel samplers are still ac-
ceptable for measuring the uranium intake of work-
ers. The monitoring criteria should not be considered
requirements on the sensitivity of a particular meas-
urement because when the results of multiple meas-
urements are summed, the sum will have a greater
statistical power than the individual measurements.
However, to achieve the greater statistical power, the
licensee should record all numerical values meas-
ured, even values below ."minimum detectable
amounts" and values that are negative because the
measured count rate is below the background. Results
should not be recorded as "below MDA" or similar
Statements.
If the licensee desires to calculate the minimum
detectable activity of a single sample (MDA), it may
be calculated by use of the following equation:
2.71 + 3.29[RbT.(l + T./Tb)]"^
MDA =
EKT.
where: Rb = the background count rate
T, = the sample counting time
Tb = the background (or blank) count-
ing time
E = the filter efficiency
K = a calibration factor to convert
counts per minute into activity
(e.g., counts per minute per mi-
crocurie)
(The derivation of this equation is described in
NUREG-1400.)
If the proportion of the total activity of a sample
that is due to a specific radionuclide in a mixture is
known, the MDA for that radionuclide should be re-
duced proportionally:
MDAi = Ai/A X MDA
