Observations
Russell J. Topham, PE of the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (the
Division), observed disposal of three loads of lle.(2) byproduct material on June 11, 2019 at the White
Mesa Uranium Mill (the Mill) owned and operated by Energy Fuels Resources (the Licensee) in
response to notifications sent by the Licensee dated May 28 and June 10, 2019. The disposal operation
involved two loads of 11 e.(2) material (decommissioning debris) from Cameco's Smith Ranch property
near Douglas, Wyoming and one load from Strata Energy's Ross property near Moorcroft, Wyoming.
The June 10 notice was for a burial of three loads intended for a June 25 operation; however, one load
had arrived by the inspection date, and had enough radioactivity that the mill staff was taking additional
precautions with it for ALARA purposes. A 5 millirem (mR) perimeter was set around the loads using
barricades and rope, with radiation warning signs placed on the four faces of the resulting quadrangle.
To assist in meeting the intent of the facility's ALARA efforts, I offered, and the staff accepted, to bury
both Smith Ranch loads during the inspection rather than waiting out the two-week notice on the second
one.
This inspection focused on the Licensee's implementation of Standard Operating Procedure SOP PBL-
10, which governs disposal of lle.(2) byproduct material from in situ leach facilities. Incoming
shipments for all materials are subject to another procedure, SOP PBL-19, which was not the subject of
this inspection.
Copies of paperwork obtained from field crews show that the Licensee used revision R-3.4 of SOP PBL-
10, dated February 1, 2018 for the operations observed. A copy of this paperwork is attached to this
report. Revision R-3.4 is the most recent version of the procedure.
The Licensee maintains a map of Tailings Impoundment 3 in the Mill office that shows the dedicated
disposal location for each 1le.(2) debris generator. Examination of that map reveals that if disposal
operations are limited to the lateral extents of the dedicated disposal plots and if the vertical location of
placement of material is limited to within two feet above and below the upper surface of the tailings,
neither the excavation nor the debris will endanger the integrity of the impoundment liner.
Lateral disposal pit locations are determined and located in the field by survey prior to excavation. The
bottom of the excavations is extended into the tailings sand, and the depth is surveyed prior to placement
of material into the excavation. Once the debris is placed in the excavation and compressed, the top of
debris is surveyed, after which cover soil is placed and compacted. Lateral locations were checked by

July 3, 2019
Page 4
the inspector onsite. Disposal data packets attached to this report show that the vertical placement is
below the peripheral top of liner and well above the liner beneath the excavation.
SOP PBL-10 requires that material must be accepted for disposal prior to departure of the transport
vehicle from the generator. This allows the Licensee to ascertain that the material characteristics meet
the requirements for classification as 1le.(2) byproduct material, and to verify that the quantity to be
shipped will not exceed the 5,000 cubic yard per source limit established in License Condition 10.5A.
Checks of running receipt totals confirmed that the volume limits had not been exceeded. The material
is checked upon receipt to verify that what was shipped is what was expected.
Once the material is accepted for shipment, the receipt and burial are scheduled and the Licensee sends a
seven-day advance notice to the Division of the date scheduled for the burial event and number of loads
anticipated for disposal. The Division received the written notices on May 30 and June 12, 2019. As
previously noted, one of the loads was intended for burial on June 25; however, to assist the mill
management in meeting its ALARA goal, that load was buried on June 11, before the Division received
the seven-day notice.
Disposal Activities Observed
Photos 1 through 4 in the attached photo log show the materials being disposed during the inspection.
The Cameco/Smith Ranch material was miscellaneous decommissioning debris, including pipes, pumps,
filters, filter socks, wire, and miscellaneous debris. The material from Strata Energy included filter pipe
and miscellaneous debris. None of the material required dismantling, sectioning or crushing. The loads
included no barrels, so License Condition 10.5B does not apply to the operations observed. Soil should
be able to fill voids in the debris mass. Once placed, the material is densified to minimize the potential
for excess differential settlement of the tailings, cover system and buried debris.
The excavations prepared to receive these materials were extended through the lighter-colored platform
fill and to the surface of the tailings. The disposal crew surveyed the elevation of the pit bottom prior to
introducing the disposed material. Results of the survey operation are included in the attachments to this
report. Lateral location of the pit was checked in the Mill office checked to verify the distance between
the edge of the pit and the Cell 3 liner.
Surveying of the depth of the pits was observed; see Photo 5 for survey of the Strata Energy pit. Results
of the survey operation demonstrate that the material was placed at proper depth to prevent liner
damage. The survey results are included in the attachments to this report.
Following placement of the debris in the excavation, the crew used the loader bucket to compact the
debris into place. Then, the crew surveyed the elevation of the top of the debris. Photo 8 shows the
survey operation to determine the elevation at the top of the disposed material in the Smith Ranch
excavations. The survey data is included as an attachment to this report. The survey data shows, and a
check against the drawing at the Mill office confirmed, that the top of the disposed material in the pit
was below the plane of the top of the flexible membrane liner, as required.
The crew placed soil meeting the specification for platform fill into the excavation to cover the newly
emplaced debris. Photos 9 through 11 show the crew placing cover soil in the excavations and wheel
walking to densify that material. The capping soil was placed in lifts of about 12" thickness and wheel-

Page 5
walked to densify. The cover soil serves both to retain the debris in the pit away from environmental
forces, and as part of the platform fill/secondary Radon barrier.
A Note on Safety Culture and ALARA
This disposal operation gave a good opportunity to note efforts the Energy Fuels staff takes to keep
workers safe and to meet ALARA goals. The readings of radioactivity taken upon receipt of the
materials and later at the location of placement adjacent to the receiving pits did not reveal levels of
radioactivity sufficient to exceed regulatory thresholds and require additional measures to be taken.
Nevertheless, the staff noted that the Smith Ranch materials contained substantially more radioactivity
than background; 15 and 22 mR/hr, respectively. The crew established a perimeter around the Smith
Ranch work using barricades and rope, with radiation warning signs suspended from the rope.
Remaining outside the perimeter ensured that the received dose would not exceed 5 mR/hr.
The perimeter remained in place until the active disposal operation commenced. At that point, only the
equipment operator and surveyor were allowed within the perimeter. Inspectors for both the Division
and the Licensee observed from an upwind position over 200 feet away. To prevent inhalation of any
dust carrying radioactivity, the loader operator was in a respirator.
To me, this level of precaution, along with other measures taken and noted in other inspections,
demonstrates a commitment on the part of Energy Fuels to the safety and healty of its employees, and by
extension, the public.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The Licensee appears fully compliant with applicable laws, standards, requirements and License
Conditions with respect to disposal of 1le.(2) byproduct material generated as decommissioning debris
from in situ leach uranium recovery facilities.
The Licensee appears committed to doing significantly more than the minimum required to foster
workplace safety and to minimize worker and public exposure to radiation.
No new recommendations were identified during this inspection.
