Topham, PE DATE: July 3, 2019 SUBJECT: 2019 Engineering Module 73, Inspection of disposal of lle.(2) decommissioning debris from in situ leach facilities Authority Radioactive Materials License #UT1900479, Condition 10.5: "In accordance with the Licensee's submittal to the NRC dated May 20, 1993, the Licensee is hereby authorized to dispose of byproduct material generated at licensed in situ leach (ISL) facilities, subject to [...] conditions." (Conditions are cited below as Requirements.) R313-12-3 (quoting 10 CFR 40.4): "Byproduct Material means the tailings or wastes produced by the extraction or concentration of uranium or thorium from any ore processed primarily for its source material content, including discrete surface wastes resulting from uranium solution extraction processes."1 10 CFR Part 40 Appendix A, Criterion 2: "To avoid proliferation of small waste disposal sites and thereby reduce perpetual surveillance obligations, byproduct material from in situ extraction operations, such as residues from solution evaporation or contaminated control processes, and wastes from small remote above ground extraction operations must be disposed of at existing large mill tailings disposal sites; unless, considering the nature of the wastes, such as their volume and specific activity, and the costs and environmental impacts of transporting the wastes to a large disposal site, such offsite disposal 1 This definition amends the language given in Section 1 1 e.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act as amended in 1954 to include in situ leach facilities on the same footing as conventional uranium mills. This is done by referencing "solution extraction" in the definition. Text of the Atomic Energy Act as amended in 1954 can be found in NUREG-0980, Volume 1, No. 10.

Radioactive Materials License #UT1900479, Condition 10.5C: "All ISL waste shall be buried in Cell No. 3 unless prior written approval is obtained from the Director for alternate burial locations." 4. Radioactive Materials License #UT1900479, Condition 10.5D: "All disposal activities shall be documented and records thereof maintained on-site. The documentation shall include descriptions of the ISL waste and the disposal locations, as well as all actions required by this License condition." 5. Radioactive Materials License #UT1900479, Condition 10.5E: "The Licensee shall also submit for Director approval a revised written Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for ISL disposal on or before December 1, 2010. The revised SOP shall describe the documentation required for ISL disposal, which shall include but is not limited to the following:" (1) The material disposal area must be located on a tailings beach area of the disposal cell or on an area of the cell that is underlain by tailings sands; (2) The elevation of the material disposal area will not exceed the plane or grade of the elevations of the uppermost flexible membrane liner of the tailings cell; (3) Such ISL byproduct material will be segregated from any mill material and equipment disposed of in the cells pursuant to License Condition 10.4, and the ISL byproduct material from each in situ leach source will be segregated from the byproduct material from all other in situ leach sources; (4) Absence of void space inside barrels disposed, including physical verification before disposal; and (5) Detailed engineering drawings which demonstrate: 2 A "source" in this context is a geographically discrete facility. See Letter from Rusty Lundberg to Jo Ann Tischler dated November 7, 2013 (DRC-2013-005682) Second Quarter, 2019 ISL Decommissioning Debris Disposal Inspection Report July 3, 2019 Page 3 a. There are at least 4 feet of tailings sands under the bottom of each disposal area; and b. The bottom of each disposal area is located at least 12 feet from the sides or dikes of the tailings cell. 6. Radioactive Materials License #UT1900479, Condition 10.5F: The Licensee shall notify the Director in writing at least 7 calendar days prior to the proposed scheduled date for disposal of any byproduct material generated at ISL facilities in the tailings cells. An annual summary of the amounts of waste disposed of from off-site ISL generators shall be sent to the Director on or before November 1 of each calendar year. 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 Second Quarter, 2019 ISL Decommissioning Debris Disposal Inspection Report 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- Second Quarter, 2019 ISL Decommissioning Debris Disposal Inspection Report July 3, 2019 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. Photo 1: Two loads of 11 e.(2) decommissioning debris from Cameco - Smith Ranch.
