The result of the 2013 radon-222 flux monitoring for Cell 3 was 19.4 pCi nf2 s"1 (averaged over three monitoring events) and therefore was in compliance the standard set out in 40 CFR 61.252 of 20 pCi rn2 s_1in 2013. For the past several years, the Mill has been experiencing drought conditions, which were especially severe during 2012 and the first half of 2013. Per 40 CFR 61.253, EFRI is permitted to monitor radon flux one or more times per year. For the 2013 operating year, EFRI chose to monitor Cell 3 three times to capture a wider range of climatic conditions due to the drought. Therefore, Cell 3 was monitored on June 11, 2013, September 23, 2013, and December 4, 2013. Consistent with 40 CFR 61.253, EFRI notified the Utah Division of Air Quality and the U.S Environmental Protection Agency 30 days prior to each Cell 3 sampling event, as required, in letters dated April 11, 2013, July 18, 2013, and September 5, 2013. The results from the Cell 3 June 2013, September 2013, and December 2013 sampling events are included as Attachment 1, Attachment 2, and Attachment 3, respectively, to this letter.

INTRODUCTION During June 10-12,2013, Tellco Environmental, LLC (Tellco) of Grand Junction, Colorado, provided support to Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (Energy Fuels) to conduct radon flux measurements regarding the required National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) Radon Flux Measurements. These measurements are required of Energy Fuels to show compliance with Federal Regulations (further discussed in Section 3 below). The standard is not an average per facility, but is an average per radon source. The standard allows mill owners or operators the option of either making a single set of measurements or making measurements over a one year period (e.g., weekly, monthly, or quarterly intervals). Previously during 2012, Energy Fuels with support from Tellco, conducted radon flux measurements in June 2012 on Cell 2 and Cell 3 with the intention of performing a single set of measurements to represent the year 2012. The arithmetic average radon flux rate of the June 2012 sampling for Cell 3 was below the regulatory standard of 20 picoCuries per square meter per second (pCi/m2-s); however, the radon flux measurements for Cell 2 exceeded the standard and in response, Energy Fuels conducted additional radon flux measurements for Cell 2 in September, October, and November 2012. No additional sampling of Cell 3 was performed in 2012 because the average radon flux rate measured by the June 2012 sampling was below the regulatory standard. Energy Fuels is presently on a monthly radon flux sampling plan for Cell 2 beginriing in April 2013 and the results of the Cell 2 monthly sampling is presented in separate reports; this report presents only the radon flux measurements results for Cell 3 for June 2013. Tellco was contracted to provide radon canisters, equipment, and canister placement personnel as well as lab analysis of samples. Energy Fuels personnel provided support for loading and unloading charcoal from the canisters. This report details the procedures employed by Energy Fuels and Tellco to obtain the results presented in Section 9.0 of this report. 2. SITE DESCRIPTION The White Mesa Mill facility is located in San Juan County in southeastern Utah, six miles south of Blanding, Utah. The mill began operations in 1980 for the purpose of extracting uranium and vanadium from feed stocks. Processing effluents from the operation are deposited in four lined cells, which vary in depth. Cell I, Cell 4A, and Cell 4B did not require radon flux sampling, as explained in Section 3 below. Cell 2 has a total area of approximately 270,624 square meters (m2) and is comprised of one region which requires NESHAPs radon flux monitoring. This cell has been filled and covered with interim soil cover of varying thickness; there are no exposed tailings or standing liquid within Cell 2. Cell 3 is nearly filled with tailings sand and is undergoing pre-closure activities. This cell, which has a total area of 288,858 m2, is comprised of two source regions that require NESHAPs radon monitoring: approximately 231,175 m of soil cover of varying thickness and approximately 17,558 m2 of exposed tailings "beaches". The remaining approximately 40,125 m2 was covered by standing liquid in lower elevation areas. The size of the beaches region during June 2013 is smaller than it was in 2012, while size of the covered region is larger than in 2012. i 3. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SITE Radon emissions from the uranium mill tailings at this site are regulated by the State of Utah's Division of Radiation Control and administered by the Utah Division of Air Quality under generally applicable standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for Operating Mills. Applicable regulations are specified in 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart W, National Emission Standards for Radon Emissions from Operating Mill Tailings, with technical procedures in Appendix B. At present, there are no Subpart T uranium mill tailings at this site. These regulations are a subset of the NESHAPs. According to subsection 61.252 Standard, (a) radon-222 emissions to ambient air from an existing uranium mill tailings pile shall not exceed an average of 20 pCi/m2-s for each pile or region. Subsection 61.253, Determining Compliance, states that: "Compliance with the emission standard in this subpart shall be deterrnined annually through the use of Method 115 of Appendix B." The repaired Cell 4A, and newly constructed Cell 4B, were both constructed after December 15, 1989 and each was constructed with less than 40 acres surface area. Cell 4A and 4B comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 61.252(b), therefore no radon flux measurements are required on either Cell 4Aor4B. 4. SAMPLING METHODOLOGY Radon emissions were measured using Large Area Activated Charcoal Canisters (canisters) in conformance with 40 CFR, Part 61, Appendix B, Method 115, Restrictions to Radon Flux Measurements, (EPA, 2012). These are passive gas adsorption sampling devices used to determine the flux rate of radon-222 gas from a surface. The canisters were constructed using a 10-inch diameter PVC end cap containing a bed of 180 grams of activated, granular charcoal. The prepared charcoal was placed in the canisters on a support grid on top of a lA inch thick layer of foam and secured with a retaining ring under 1XA inches of foam (see Figure 1, page 11). Two hundred sampling locations were distributed throughout Cell 3 (comprised of two source regions requiring monitoring) as depicted on the Sample Locations Map (see Figure 2, Appendix D). Each charged canister was placed directly onto the surface (open face down) and exposed to the surface for 24 hours. Radon gas adsorbed onto the charcoal and the subsequent radioactive decay of the entrained radon resulted in radioactive lead-214 and bismuth-214. These radon progeny isotopes emit characteristic gamma photons that can be detected through gamma spectroscopy. The original total activity of the adsorbed radon was calculated from these gamma ray measurements using calibration factors derived from cross-calibration of standard sources containing known total activities of radium-226 with geometry identical to the counted samples and from the principles of radioactive decay. After approximately 24 hours, the exposed charcoal was transferred to a sealed plastic sample container (to prevent radon loss and/or further exposure during transport), identified and labeled, and transported to the Tellco laboratory in Grand Junction, Colorado for analysis. Upon completion of on- site activities, the field equipment was alpha and beta-gamma scanned for possible contamination resulting from fieldwork activities. All field equipment was surveyed by Energy Fuels Radiation Safety personnel and released for unrestricted use. Tellco personnel maintained custody of the samples from collection through analysis. 2 5. FIELD OPERATIONS 5.1 Equipment Preparation All charcoal was dried at 110°C before use in the field. Unused charcoal and recycled charcoal were treated the same. 180-gram aliquots of dried charcoal were weighed and placed in sample containers. Proper balance operation was verified daily by checking a standard weight. The balance readout agreed with the known standard weight to within ±0.1 percent. After acceptable balance check, empty containers were individually placed on the balance and the scale was re-zeroed with the container on the balance. Unexposed and dried charcoal was carefully added to the container until the readout registered 180 grams. The lid was immediately placed on the container and sealed with plastic tape. The balance was checked for readout drift between readings. Sealed containers with unexposed charcoal were placed individually in the shielded counting well, with the bottom of the container centered over the detector, and the background count rate was documented. Three five-minute background counts were conducted on ten percent of the containers, selected at random to represent the "batch". If the background counts were too high to achieve an acceptable lower limit of detection (LLD), the entire charcoal batch was labeled non-confonning and recycled through the heating/drying process. 5.2 Sample Locations, Identification, and Placement On June 10, 2013, one hundred sampling locations were spread out throughout the Cell 3 Beaches region; and on June 11, 2013, one hundred sampling locations were spread out throughout the Cell 3 Covered region. A sample identification number (ID) was assigned to every sample point, using a sequential alphanumeric system indicating the charcoal batch and physical location within the region (e.g., D01...D100). This ED was written on an adhesive label and affixed to the top of the canister. The sample ID, date, and time of placement were recorded on the radon flux measurements data sheets for the set of one hundred measurements. Prior to placing a canister at each sample location, the retaining ring, screen, and foam pad of each canister were removed to expose the charcoal support grid. A pre-measured charcoal charge was selected from a batch, opened and distributed evenly across the support grid. The canister was then reassembled and placed face down on the surface at each sampling location. Care was exercised not to push the device into the soil surface. The canister rim was "sealed" to the surface using a berm of local borrow material. Nine canisters (blanks) were similarly processed and the canisters were kept inside an airtight plastic bag during the 24-hour testing period. One of the five blank canisters for the Cell 3 Covered region (F Blank 4) was inadvertently not loaded with charcoal during the loading process. 5.3 Sample Retrieval At the end of each of the 24-hour testing periods, the canisters were retrieved, disassembled and each charcoal sample was individually poured through a funnel into a container. Identification numbers were transferred to the appropriate container, which was sealed and placed in a box for transport. 3 Retrieval date and time were recorded on the same data sheets as the sample placement information. The blank samples were similarly processed. During retrieval of the canisters from the Cell 3 Beaches region on June 11, 2013, one canister (D84) was found to have not been properly sealed during placement; the charcoal from D84 was containerized but that sample was considered void. All of the charcoal samples from the Cell 3 Covered region were successfully retrieved on June 12, 2013 and containerized during the unloading process. 5.4 Environmental Conditions A rain gauge and thermometer were in place at the White Mesa Mill site to monitor rainfall and air temperatures during sampling in order to ensure compliance with the regulatory measurement criteria. In accordance with 40 CFR, Part 61, Appendix B, Method 115: • Measurements were not initiated within 24 hours of rainfall. • No rainfall occurred during the sampling periods. • The minimum ambient air temperature during the sampling periods was 54 degrees F. 6. SAMPLE ANALYSIS 6.1 Apparatus Apparatus used for the analysis: • Single- or multi-channel pulse height analysis system, Ludlum Model 2200 with a Teledyne 3" x 3" sodium iodide, thallium-activated (Nal(Tl)) detector. • Lead shielded counting well approximately 40 cm deep with 5-cm thick lead walls and a 7- cm thick base and 5 cm thick top. • National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable aqueous solution radium- 226 absorbed onto 180 grams of activated charcoal. • Ohaus Model C501 balance with 0.1 -gram sensitivity. 6.2 Sample Inspection and Documentation Once in the laboratory, the integrity of each charcoal container was verified by visual inspection of the plastic container. Laboratory personnel checked for damaged or unsealed containers and verified that the data sheet was complete. No damaged or unsealed containers were observed during inspection at the Tellco analytical laboratory. A total of 199 radon flux samples and nine blank samples were verified as valid. 4 6.3 Background and Sample Counting The gamma ray counting system was checked daily, including background and radium-226 source measurements prior to and after each counting session. Based on calibration statistics, using two sources with known radium-226 content, background and source control limits were established for each LuaTurn/Teledyne counting system with shielded well (see Appendix A). Gamma ray counting of exposed charcoal samples included the following steps: • The length of count time was determined by the activity of the sample being analyzed, according to a data quality objective of a minimum of 1,000 accrued counts for any given sample. • The sample container was centered on the Nal detector and the shielded well door was closed. • The sample was counted over a determined count length and then the mid-sample count time, date, and gross counts were documented on the radon flux measurements data sheet and used in the calculations. • The above steps were repeated for each exposed charcoal sample. • Approximately 10 percent of the containers counted were selected for recounting. These containers were recounted within a few days following the original count. 7. QUALITY CONTROL (QC) AND DATA VALIDATION Charcoal flux measurement QC samples included the following intra-laboratory analytical frequency objectives: • Blanks, 5 percent, and • Recounts, 10 percent All sample data were subjected to validation protocols that included assessments of sensitivity, precision, accuracy, and completeness. As described below, all Method 115-required data quality objectives (EPA, 2012) were attained. 7.1 Sensitivity A total of nine blanks were analyzed by measuring the radon progeny activity in samples subjected to all aspects of the measurement process, excepting exposure to the source region. These blank sample measurements comprised approximately five percent of the field measurements. The results of the blank sample radon flux rates ranged from -0.01 to 0.04 pCi/m2-s, with an average of approximately 0.02 pCi/m2-s. The lower limit of detection (LLD) was approximately 0.05 pCi/m2-s. 7.2 Precision Twenty recount measurements, distributed throughout the sample set, were performed by replicating analyses of individual field samples (see Appendix B). These recount measurements comprised approximately 10 percent of the total number of samples analyzed. The precision of all recount 5 measurements, expressed as relative percent difference (RPD), ranged from less than 0.1 percent to 7.5 percent with an overall average precision of approximately 2.6 percent RPD. This complies with the precision objective of 10 percent. 7.3 Accuracy Accuracy of field measurements was assessed daily by counting two laboratory control samples with known Ra-226 content. Accuracy of these lab control sample measurements, expressed as percent bias, ranged from approximately -0.7 percent to +1.1 percent. The arithmetic average bias of the lab control sample measurements was approximately 0.1 percent (see Appendix A). This complies with the accuracy objective of +/-10 percent. 7.4 Completeness A combined total of 199 samples from the Cell 3 Beaches and Covered regions were verified, representing approximately 99.5 percent completeness, which complies with the completeness objective of 85 percent. 8. CALCULATIONS Radon flux rates were calculated for charcoal collection samples using calibration factors derived from cross-calibration to sources with known total activity with identical geometry as the charcoal containers. A yield efficiency factor was used to calculate the total activity of the sample charcoal containers. Individual field sample result values presented were not reduced by the results of the field blank analyses. In practice, radon flux rates were calculated by a database computer program. The algorithms utilized by the data base program were as follows: Equation 8.1: 2 M pCi Rn-222/m sec = pTs*A*b*0[JSW^K where: N = net sample count rate, cpm under 220-662 keV peak Ts = sample duration, seconds b = instrument calibration factor, cpm per pCi; values used: 0.1699, for M-01/D-21 and 0.1702, for M-02/D-20 d = decay time, elapsed hours between sample mid-time and count mid-time A = area of the canister, m2 Equation 8.2: Gross Sample, cpm Background Sample,cpm + — U SampleCount, t, min Background Count, t, mm Error,2cr = 2 x — x Sample Concentration Net,cpm Equation 8.3: TTn_ 2.71+(4.65VSJ LLD~ [Ts*A*b*0.5<^75)] where: 2.71 = constant 4.65 = confidence interval factor Sb = standard deviation of the background count rate Ts = sample duration, seconds b = instrument calibration factor, cpm per pCi; values used: 0.1699, for M-01/D-21 and 0.1702, for M-02/D-20 d = decay time, elapsed hours between sample mid-time and count mid-time A = area of the canister, m2 9. RESULTS 9.1 Mean Radon Flux Referencing 40 CFR, Part 61, Subpart W, Appendix B, Method 115 - Monitoring for Radon-222 Emissions, Subsection 2.1.7 - Calculations, "the mean radon flux for each region of the pile and for the total pile shall be calculated and reported as follows: (a) The individual radon flux calculations shall be made as provided in Appendix A EPA 86(1). The mean radon flux for each region of the pile shall be calculated by suniming all individual flux measurements for the region and dividing by the total number of flux measurements for the region. (b) The mean radon flux for the total uranium mill tailings pile shall be calculated as follows: JiAi ± ... LA? r+1... JA,- Js = At Where: Js = Mean flux for the total pile (pCi/m2-s) Ji - Mean flux measured in region i (pCi/m2-s) A, = Area of region i (m2) At = Total area of the pile (m2)" 40 CFR 61, Subpart W, Appendix B, Method 115, Subsection 2.1.8, Reporting states "The results of individual flux measurements, the approximate locations on the pile, and the mean radon flux for each region and the mean radon flux for the total stack [pile] shall be included in the emission test report. Any condition or unusual event that occurred during the measurements that could significantly affect the results should be reported." 7 9.2 Site Results Site Specific Sample Results (reference Appendix C) (a) The mean radon flux for each region withm Cell 3 is as follows: Cell 3 - Beaches Region = 56.6 pCi/m2-s (based on 17,558 m2 area) Cell 3 - Covered Region = 24.1 pCi/m2-s (based on 231,175 m2 area) Note: Reference Appendix C of this report for the entire summary of individual measurement results. (b) Using the data presented above, the calculated mean radon flux for Cell 3 is, as follows: Cell 3 = 22.7 pCi/m2-s f56.6¥17.558VH24.1¥231.175>} =22.7 288,858 As shown above, the arithmetic mean radon flux of the June 2013 samples for Cell 3 at Energy Fuels White Mesa milling facility exceeds the NRC and EPA standard of 20 pCi/m2-s. The extremely dry weather at the site for the past several years was especially severe during 2012 and seems to be continuing now in 2013. The result of this dry weather is likely a lowered water table in the containment ceil and reduced moisture content in surface soils, which could result in increased radon flux rates at the site. The flux rates at a few of the sample locations on the Cell 3 Covered region were unusually high, and might be the result of tailings spills during previous site activities or because the sample locations were in an area where the interim cover layer was thin. Appendix C is a summary of individual measurement results, including blank sample analysis. Sample locations are depicted on Figure 2, which is included in Appendix D.

INTRODUCTION During June 10-11, 2013 and September 22-23, 2013 Tellco Environmental, LLC (Tellco) of Grand Junction, Colorado, provided support to Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (Energy Fuels) to conduct radon flux measurements regarding the required National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) Radon Flux Measurements. These measurements are required of Energy Fuels to show compliance with Federal Regulations (further discussed in Section 3 below). The standard is not an average per facility, but is an average per radon source. The standard allows mill owners or operators the option of either making a single set of measurements or making measurements over a one year period (e.g., weekly, monthly, or quarterly intervals). Previously during June 2013, Energy Fuels with support from Tellco conducted radon flux measurements on Cell 3 with the intention of performing a single set of measurements to represent Cell 3 for the year 2013. However, the arithmetic average radon flux rate of the June 2013 sampling for Cell 3 was above the regulatory standard of 20 picoCuries per square meter per second (pCi/m2-s); and in response, Energy Fuels has begun conducting radon flux measurements for Cell 3 covered region on a quarterly basis, while opting to use the results from the June 2013 sampling of the Cell 3 exposed tailings region for the calculations of the weighted averages for Cell 3. This report presents the mean radon flux for Cell 3 using the measurement results of the June 2013 sampling of the Cell 3 exposed tailings region and the results of the September sampling of the Cell 3 covered region. Tellco was contracted to provide radon canisters, equipment, and canister placement personnel as well as lab analysis of samples. Energy Fuels personnel provided support for loading and unloading charcoal from the canisters. This report details the procedures employed by Energy Fuels and Tellco to obtain the results presented in Section 9.0 of this report. 2. SITE DESCRIPTION The White Mesa Mill facility is located in San Juan County in southeastern Utah, six miles south of Blanding, Utah. The mill began operations in 1980 for the purpose of extracting uranium and vanadium from feed stocks. Processing effluents from the operation are deposited in four lined cells, which vary in depth. Cell 1, Cell 4A, and Cell 4B did not require radon flux sampling, as explained in Section 3 below. Cell 2 sampling results are presented in separate reports. Cell 2 has a total area of approximately 270,624 square meters (m2) and is comprised of one region which requires NESHAPs radon flux monitoring. This cell has been filled and covered with interim soil cover of varying thickness; there are no exposed tailings or standing liquid within Cell 2. Cell 3 is nearly filled with tailings sand and is undergoing pre-closure activities. This cell, which has a total area of 288,858 m2, is comprised of two source regions that require NESHAPs radon monitoring: approximately 231,175 m of soil cover of varying thickness and approximately 17,558 m2 of exposed tailings "beaches". The remaining approximately 40,125 m2 was covered by standing liquid in lower elevation areas. The size of the beaches region during June 2013 is smaller than it was in 2012, while size of the covered region is larger than in 2012. 1 3. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SITE Radon emissions from the uranium mill tailings at this site are regulated by the State of Utah's Division of Radiation Control and administered by the Utah Division of Air Quality under generally applicable standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for Operating Mills. Applicable regulations are specified in 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart W, National Emission Standards for Radon Emissions from Operating Mill Tailings, with technical procedures in Appendix B. At present, there are no Subpart T uranium mill tailings at this site. These regulations are a subset of the NESHAPs. According to subsection 61.252 Standard, (a) radon-222 emissions to ambient air from an existing uranium mill tailings pile shall not exceed an average of 20 pCi/m2-s for each pile or region. Subsection 61.253, Determining Compliance, states that: "Compliance with the emission standard in this subpart shall be determined annually through the use of Method 115 of Appendix B." The repaired Cell 4A, and newly constructed Cell 4B, were both constructed after December 15, 1989 and each was constructed with less than 40 acres surface area. Cell 4A and 4B comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 61.252(b), therefore no radon flux measurements are required on either Cell 4A or 4B. 4. SAMPLING METHODOLOGY Radon emissions were measured using Large Area Activated Charcoal Canisters (canisters) in conformance with 40 CFR, Part 61, Appendix B, Method 115, Restrictions to Radon Flux Measurements, (EPA, 2012). These are passive gas adsorption sampling devices used to determine the flux rate of radon-222 gas from a surface. The canisters were constructed using a 10-inch diameter PVC end cap containing a bed of 180 grams of activated, granular charcoal. The prepared charcoal was placed in the canisters on a support grid on top of a Vi inch thick layer of foam and secured with a retaining ring under 1 lA inches of foam (see Figure 1, page 11). Two hundred sampling locations were distributed throughout Cell 3 (comprised of two source regions requiring monitoring) as depicted on the Sample Locations Map (see Figure 2, Appendix D). Each charged canister was placed directly onto the surface (open face down) and exposed to the surface for 24 hours. Radon gas adsorbed onto the charcoal and the subsequent radioactive decay of the entrained radon resulted in radioactive lead-214 and bismuth-214. These radon progeny isotopes emit characteristic gamma photons that can be detected through gamma spectroscopy. The original total activity of the adsorbed radon was calculated from these gamma ray measurements using calibration factors derived from cross-calibration of standard sources containing known total activities of radium-226 with geometry identical to the counted samples and from the principles of radioactive decay. After approximately 24 hours, the exposed charcoal was transferred to a sealed plastic sample container (to prevent radon loss and/or further exposure during transport), identified and labeled, and transported to the Tellco laboratory in Grand Junction, Colorado for analysis. Upon completion of on- site activities, the field equipment was alpha and beta-gamma scanned for possible contamination resulting from fieldwork activities. All field equipment was surveyed by Energy Fuels Radiation Safety personnel and released for unrestricted use. Tellco personnel maintained custody of the samples from collection through analysis. 2 5. FIELD OPERATIONS 5.1 Equipment Preparation All charcoal was dried at 110°C before use in the field. Unused charcoal and recycled charcoal were treated the same. 180-gram aliquots of dried charcoal were weighed and placed in sample containers. Proper balance operation was verified daily by checking a standard weight. The balance readout agreed with the known standard weight to within ±0.1 percent. After acceptable balance check, empty containers were individually placed on the balance and the scale was re-zeroed with the container on the balance. Unexposed and dried charcoal was carefully added to the container until the readout registered 180 grams. The lid was immediately placed on the container and sealed with plastic tape. The balance was checked for readout drift between readings. Sealed containers with unexposed charcoal were placed individually in the shielded counting well, with the bottom of the container centered over the detector, and the background count rate was documented. Three five-minute background counts were conducted on ten percent of the containers, selected at random to represent the "batch". If the background counts were too high to achieve an acceptable lower limit of detection (LLD), the entire charcoal batch was labeled non-conforming and recycled through the heating/drying process. 5.2 Sample Locations, Identification, and Placement On June 10, 2013, one hundred sampling locations were spread out throughout the Cell 3 beaches region; and on September 22, 2013, one hundred sampling locations were spread out throughout the Cell 3 covered region. A sample identification number (ID) was assigned to every sample point, using a sequential alphanumeric system indicating the charcoal batch and physical location within the region (e.g., D01...J100). This ID was written on an adhesive label and affixed to the top of the canister. The sample ID, date, and time of placement were recorded on the radon flux measurements data sheets for the set of one hundred measurements. Prior to placing a canister at each sample location, the retaining ring, screen, and foam pad of each canister were removed to expose the charcoal support grid. A pre-measured charcoal charge was selected from a batch, opened and distributed evenly across the support grid. The canister was then reassembled and placed face down on the surface at each sampling location. Care was exercised not to push the device into the soil surface. The canister rim was "sealed" to the surface using a berm of local borrow material. Ten canisters (blanks) were similarly processed and the canisters were kept inside an airtight plastic bag during the 24-hour testing period. 5.3 Sample Retrieval At the end of each of the 24-hour testing periods, the canisters were retrieved, disassembled and each charcoal sample was individually poured through a funnel into a container. Identification numbers were transferred to the appropriate container, which was sealed and placed in a box for transport. Retrieval date and time were recorded on the same data sheets as the sample placement information. The blank samples were similarly processed. During retrieval of the canisters from the Cell 3 beaches region on June 11, 2013, one canister (D84) was found to have not been properly sealed during placement; the charcoal from D84 was containerized but that sample was considered void. All of the charcoal samples from the Cell 3 covered region were successfully retrieved on September 23, 2013 and containerized during the unloading process. Tellco personnel maintained custody of the samples from collection through analysis. 5.4 Environmental Conditions A rain gauge and thermometer were placed between Cell 2 and Cell 3 to monitor rainfall and air temperatures during sampling in order to ensure compliance with the regulatory measurement criteria. In accordance with 40 CFR, Part 61, Appendix B, Method 115: • Measurements were not initiated within 24 hours of rainfall. • After the placement of canisters on the Cell 3 covered region on September 22, 2013, approximately 0.31 inches of rainfall was measured in the onsite rain gauge. As a result, there were several pools of water throughout the covered region; however, none of the canisters were surrounded by water and all of the earthen seals were intact. • The minimum ambient air temperature during the sampling periods was 43 degrees F on September 23, 2013. 6. SAMPLE ANALYSIS 6.1 Apparatus Apparatus used for the analysis: • Single- or multi-channel pulse height analysis system, Ludlum Model 2200 with a Teledyne 3" x 3" sodium iodide, thallium-activated (Nal(Tl)) detector. • Lead shielded counting well approximately 40 cm deep with 5-cm thick lead walls and a 7- cm thick base and 5 cm thick top. • National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable aqueous solution radium- 226 absorbed onto 180 grams of activated charcoal. • Ohaus Model C501 balance with 0.1-gram sensitivity. 6.2 Sample Inspection and Documentation Once in the laboratory, the integrity of each charcoal container was verified by visual inspection of the plastic container. Laboratory personnel checked for damaged or unsealed containers and verified that the data sheet was complete. No damaged or unsealed containers were observed during inspection at the Tellco analytical laboratory. A total of 199 radon flux samples and ten blank samples were verified as valid. 4 6.3 Background and Sample Counting The gamma ray counting system was checked daily, including background and radium-226 source measurements prior to and after each counting session. Based on calibration statistics, using two sources with known radium-226 content, background and source control limits were established for each Ludlum/Teledyne counting system with shielded well (see Appendix A). Gamma ray counting of exposed charcoal samples included the following steps: • The length of count time was determined by the activity of the sample being analyzed, according to a data quality objective of a minimum of 1,000 accrued counts for any given sample. • The sample container was centered on the Nal detector and the shielded well door was closed. • The sample was counted over a determined count length and then the mid-sample count time, date, and gross counts were documented on the radon flux measurements data sheet and used in the calculations. • The above steps were repeated for each exposed charcoal sample. • Approximately 10 percent of the containers counted were selected for recounting. These containers were recounted within a few days following the original count. 7. QUALITY CONTROL (QC) AND DATA VALIDATION Charcoal flux measurement QC samples included the following intra-laboratory analytical frequency objectives: • Blanks, 5 percent, and • Recounts, 10 percent All sample data were subjected to validation protocols that included assessments of sensitivity, precision, accuracy, and completeness. As described below, all Method 115-required data quality objectives (EPA, 2012) were attained. 7.1 Sensitivity A total of ten blanks were analyzed by measuring the radon progeny activity in samples subjected to all aspects of the measurement process, excepting exposure to the source region. These blank sample measurements comprised approximately five percent of the field measurements. The results of the blank sample radon flux rates ranged from -0.01 to 0.02 pCi/m2-s, with an average of approximately 0.01 pCi/m2-s. The lower limit of detection (LLD) was approximately 0.05 pCi/m2-s. 7.2 Precision Twenty recount measurements, distributed throughout the sample set, were performed by replicating analyses of individual field samples (see Appendix B). These recount measurements comprised approximately 10 percent of the total number of samples analyzed. The precision of all recount 5 measurements, expressed as relative percent difference (RPD), ranged from less than 0.1 percent to 6.5 percent with an overall average precision of approximately 2.1 percent RPD. This complies with the precision objective of 10 percent. 7.3 Accuracy Accuracy of field measurements was assessed daily by counting two laboratory control samples with known Ra-226 content. Accuracy of these lab control sample measurements, expressed as percent bias, ranged from approximately -2.6 percent to +0.2 percent. The arithmetic average bias of the lab control sample measurements was approximately -1.0 percent (see Appendix A). This complies with the accuracy objective of +/- 10 percent. 7.4 Completeness A combined total of 199 samples from the Cell 3 Beaches and Covered regions were verified, representing approximately 99.5 percent completeness, which complies with the completeness objective of 85 percent. 8. CALCULATIONS Radon flux rates were calculated for charcoal collection samples using calibration factors derived from cross-calibration to sources with known total activity with identical geometry as the charcoal containers. A yield efficiency factor was used to calculate the total activity of the sample charcoal containers. Individual field sample result values presented were not reduced by the results of the field blank analyses. In practice, radon flux rates were calculated by a database computer program. The algorithms utilized by the data base program were as follows: Equation 8.1: 2 N pCi Rn-222/m sec = rrs*A*b*0 5(d/9175)] where: N = net sample count rate, cpm under 220-662 keV peak Ts = sample duration, seconds b = instrument calibration factor, cpm per pCi; values used: 0.1699, for M-01/D-21 and 0.1702, for M-02/D-20 d = decay time, elapsed hours between sample mid-time and count mid-time A = area of the canister, m2 Equation 8.2: Error, 2a = 2 x Gross Sample, cpm Background Sample,cpm + Sample Count,t,min Background Count,t,min x Sample Concentration Net,cpm 6 Equation 8.3: LLU [Ts*A*b*0.5(d/9T7 where: 2.71 = constant 4.65 = confidence interval factor Sb = standard deviation of the background count rate Ts = sample duration, seconds b = instrument calibration factor, cpm per pCi; values used: 0.1699, for M-01 /D-21 and 0.1702, for M-02/D-20 d = decay time, elapsed hours between sample mid-time and count mid-time A = area of the canister, m2 9. RESULTS 9.1 Mean Radon Flux Referencing 40 CFR, Part 61, Subpart W, Appendix B, Method 115 - Monitoring for Radon-222 Emissions, Subsection 2.1.7 - Calculations, "the mean radon flux for each region of the pile and for the total pile shall be calculated and reported as follows: (a) The individual radon flux calculations shall be made as provided in Appendix A EPA 86(1). The mean radon flux for each region of the pile shall be calculated by summing all individual flux measurements for the region and dividing by the total number of flux measurements for the region. (b) The mean radon flux for the total uranium mill tailings pile shall be calculated as follows: JiAi + ... J7A9 r+1... JAi Js = At Where: Js = Mean flux for the total pile (pCi/m2-s) J, = Mean flux measured in region i (pCi/m2-s) Aj = Area of region i (m2) At = Total area of the pile (m2)" 40 CFR 61, Subpart W, Appendix B, Method 115, Subsection 2.1.8, Reporting states "The results of individual flux measurements, the approximate locations on the pile, and the mean radon flux for each region and the mean radon flux for the total stack [pile] shall be included in the emission test report. Any condition or unusual event that occurred during the measurements that could significantly affect the results should be reported." 7 9.2 Site Results Site Specific Sample Results (reference Appendix C) (a) The mean radon flux for each region within Cell 3 is as follows: Cell 3 - Beaches Region = 56.6 pCi/m2-s (based on 17,558 m2 area) Cell 3 - Covered Region = 31.2 pCi/m2-s (based on 231,175 m2 area) Note: Reference Appendix C of this report for the entire summary of individual measurement results. (b) Using the data presented above, the calculated mean radon flux for Cell 3 is, as follows: Cell 3 = 28.4 pCi/m2-s (56.6X17,558)+(31.2X231,175) =28.4 288,858 As shown above, the arithmetic mean radon flux of the September 2013 samples for Cell 3 at Energy Fuels White Mesa milling facility exceeds the NRC and EPA standard of 20 pCi/m2-s. For the past several years, the site has been experiencing drought conditions, which were especially severe during 2012 and the first half of 2013. The result of this dry weather is likely a lowering of the moisture levels in the buried tailings and cover materials, leading to increased radon flux rates at the site. There were a few intense storms in September 2013, which produced very heavy rain downpours and flash flooding at Cell 3, with most of the water running off or pooling on the surface. In the short term, these storm events have not reduce the radon flux emissions at Cell 3. Appendix C is a summary of individual measurement results, including blank sample analysis. Sample locations are depicted on Figure 2, which is included in Appendix D. The map was produced by Tellco. 8 References U. S.

INTRODUCTION During June 10-11, 2013 and December 03-04, 2013 Tellco Environmental, LLC (Tellco) of Grand Junction, Colorado, provided support to Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (Energy Fuels) to conduct radon flux measurements regarding the required National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) Radon Flux Measurements. These measurements are required of Energy Fuels to show compliance with Federal Regulations (further discussed in Section 3 below). The standard is not an average per facility, but is an average per radon source. The standard allows mill owners or operators the option of either making a single set of measurements or making measurements over a one year period (e.g., weekly, monthly, or quarterly intervals). Previously during June 2013, Energy Fuels with support from Tellco conducted radon flux measurements on Cell 3 with the intention of performing a single set of measurements to represent Cell 3 for the year 2013. However, the arithmetic average radon flux rate of the June 2013 sampling for Cell 3 was above the regulatory standard of 20 picoCuries per square meter per second (pCi/m2-s); and in response, Energy Fuels has begun conducting radon flux measurements for Cell 3 covered region on a quarterly basis, while opting to use the results from the June 2013 sampling of the Cell 3 exposed tailings region for the calculations of the quarterly weighted averages for Cell 3. This report presents the mean radon flux for Cell 3 using the measurement results of the June 2013 sampling of the Cell 3 exposed tailings region and the results of the December sampling of the Cell 3 covered region. Tellco was contracted to provide radon canisters, equipment, and canister placement personnel as well as lab analysis of samples. Energy Fuels personnel provided support for loading and unloading charcoal from the canisters. This report details the procedures employed by Energy Fuels and Tellco to obtain the results presented in Section 9.0 of this report. 2. SITE DESCRIPTION The White Mesa Mill facility is located in San Juan County in southeastern Utah, six miles south of Blanding, Utah. The mill began operations in 1980 for the purpose of extracting uranium and vanadium from feed stocks. Processing effluents from the operation are deposited in four lined cells, which vary in depth. Cell 1, Cell 4A, and Cell 4B did not require radon flux sampling, as explained in Section 3 below. Cell 2 sampling results are presented in separate reports. Cell 2 has a total area of approximately 270,624 square meters (m2) and is comprised of one region which requires NESHAPs radon flux monitoring. This cell has been filled and covered with interim soil cover of varying thickness; there are no exposed tailings or standing liquid within Cell 2. Cell 3 is nearly filled with tailings sand and is undergoing pre-closure activities. This cell, which has a total area of 288,858 m2, is comprised of two source regions that require NESHAPs radon monitoring: approximately 231,175 m of soil cover of varying thickness and approximately 17,558 m2 of exposed tailings "beaches". The remaining approximately 40,125 m2 was covered by standing liquid in lower elevation areas. The size of the beaches region during June 2013 is smaller than it was in 2012, while size of the covered region is larger than in 2012. 1 3. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SITE Radon emissions from the uranium mill tailings at this site are regulated by the State of Utah's Division of Radiation Control and administered by the Utah Division of Air Quality under generally applicable standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for Operating Mills. Applicable regulations are specified in 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart W, National Emission Standards for Radon Emissions from Operating Mill Tailings, with technical procedures in Appendix B. At present, there are no Subpart T uranium mill tailings at this site. These regulations are a subset of the NESHAPs. According to subsection 61.252 Standard, (a) radon-222 emissions to ambient air from an existing uranium mill tailings pile shall not exceed an average of 20 pCi/m2-s for each pile or region. Subsection 61.253, Determining Compliance, states that: "Compliance with the emission standard in this subpart shall be determined annually through the use of Method 115 of Appendix B." The repaired Cell 4A, and newly constructed Cell 4B, were both constructed after December 15, 1989 and each was constructed with less than 40 acres surface area. Cell 4A and 4B comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 61.252(b), therefore no radon flux measurements are required on either Cell 4A or 4B. 4. SAMPLING METHODOLOGY Radon emissions were measured using Large Area Activated Charcoal Canisters (canisters) in conformance with 40 CFR, Part 61, Appendix B, Method 115, Restrictions to Radon Flux Measurements, (EPA, 2012). These are passive gas adsorption sampling devices used to determine the flux rate of radon-222 gas from a surface. The canisters were constructed using a 10-inch diameter PVC end cap containing a bed of 180 grams of activated, granular charcoal. The prepared charcoal was placed in the canisters on a support grid on top of a Vi inch thick layer of foam and secured with a retaining ring under VA inches of foam (see Figure 1, page 11). Two hundred sampling locations were distributed throughout Cell 3 (comprised of two source regions requiring monitoring) as depicted on the Sample Locations Map (see Figure 2, Appendix D). Each charged canister was placed directly onto the surface (open face down) and exposed to the surface for 24 hours. Radon gas adsorbed onto the charcoal and the subsequent radioactive decay of the entrained radon resulted in radioactive lead-214 and bismuth-214. These radon progeny isotopes emit characteristic gamma photons that can be detected through gamma spectroscopy. The original total activity of the adsorbed radon was calculated from these gamma ray measurements using calibration factors derived from cross-calibration of standard sources containing known total activities of radium-226 with geometry identical to the counted samples and from the principles of radioactive decay. After approximately 24 hours, the exposed charcoal was transferred to a sealed plastic sample container (to prevent radon loss and/or further exposure during transport), identified and labeled, and transported to the Tellco laboratory in Grand Junction, Colorado for analysis. Upon completion of on- site activities, the field equipment was alpha and beta-gamma scanned for possible contamination resulting from fieldwork activities. All field equipment was surveyed by Energy Fuels Radiation Safety personnel and released for unrestricted use. Tellco personnel maintained custody of the samples from collection through analysis. 2 5. FIELD OPERATIONS 5.1 Equipment Preparation All charcoal was dried at 110°C before use in the field. Unused charcoal and recycled charcoal were treated the same. 180-gram aliquots of dried charcoal were weighed and placed in sample containers. Proper balance operation was verified daily by checking a standard weight. The balance readout agreed with the known standard weight to within ±0.1 percent. After acceptable balance check, empty containers were individually placed on the balance and the scale was re-zeroed with the container on the balance. Unexposed and dried charcoal was carefully added to the container until the readout registered 180 grams. The lid was immediately placed on the container and sealed with plastic tape. The balance was checked for readout drift between readings. Sealed containers with unexposed charcoal were placed individually in the shielded counting well, with the bottom of the container centered over the detector, and the background count rate was documented. Three five-minute background counts were conducted on ten percent of the containers, selected at random to represent the "batch". If the background counts were too high to achieve an acceptable lower limit of detection (LLD), the entire charcoal batch was labeled non-conforming and recycled through the heating/drying process. 5.2 Sample Locations, Identification, and Placement On June 10, 2013, one hundred sampling locations were spread out throughout the Cell 3 beaches region; and on December 03, 2013, one hundred sampling locations were spread out throughout the Cell 3 covered region. A sample identification number (ID) was assigned to every sample point, using a sequential alphanumeric system indicating the charcoal batch and physical location within the region (e.g., D01...R100). This ID was written on an adhesive label and affixed to the top of the canister. The sample ID, date, and time of placement were recorded on the radon flux measurements data sheets for the set of one hundred measurements. Prior to placing a canister at each sample location, the retaining ring, screen, and foam pad of each canister were removed to expose the charcoal support grid. A pre-measured charcoal charge was selected from a batch, opened and distributed evenly across the support grid. The canister was then reassembled and placed face down on the surface at each sampling location. Care was exercised not to push the device into the soil surface. The canister rim was "sealed" to the surface using a berm of local borrow material. Ten canisters (blanks) were similarly processed and the canisters were kept inside an airtight plastic bag during the 24-hour testing period. 5.3 Sample Retrieval At the end of each of the 24-hour testing periods, the canisters were retrieved, disassembled and each charcoal sample was individually poured through a funnel into a container. Identification numbers were transferred to the appropriate container, which was sealed and placed in a box for transport. Retrieval date and time were recorded on the same data sheets as the sample placement information. 3 The blank samples were similarly processed. During retrieval of the canisters from the Cell 3 beaches region on June 11, 2013, one canister (D84) was found to have not been properly sealed during placement; the charcoal from D84 was containerized but that sample was considered void. All of the charcoal samples from the Cell 3 covered region were successfully retrieved on December 04, 2013 and containerized during the unloading process. Tellco personnel maintained custody of the samples from collection through analysis. 5.4 Environmental Conditions A rain gauge and thermometer were placed by Cell 3 to monitor rainfall and air temperatures during sampling in order to ensure compliance with the regulatory measurement criteria. In accordance with 40 CFR, Part 61, Appendix B, Method 115: • Measurements were not initiated within 24 hours of rainfall. • After the placement of canisters on the Cell 3 covered region on December 03, 2013, approximately 0.02 inches of rainfall was measured in the onsite rain gauge. The rain turned to snow towards the end of the brief storm and deposited approximately 1/4-inch of snow, which melted by mid-day. None of the canisters were surrounded by water and all of the earthen seals were intact. • The minimum ambient air temperature during the sampling periods was 32 degrees F on December 04, 2013. The ground was not frozen; however, some of the water puddles had a surface ice layer approximately 1/2-inch thick, which melted by mid-day. 6. SAMPLE ANALYSIS 6.1 Apparatus Apparatus used for the analysis: • Single- or multi-channel pulse height analysis system, Ludlum Model 2200 with a Teledyne 3" x 3" sodium iodide, thallium-activated (Nal(Tl)) detector. • Lead shielded counting well approximately 40 cm deep with 5-cm thick lead walls and a 7- cm thick base and 5 cm thick top. • National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable aqueous solution radium- 226 absorbed onto 180 grams of activated charcoal. • Ohaus Model C501 balance with 0.1-gram sensitivity. 6.2 Sample Inspection and Documentation Once in the laboratory, the integrity of each charcoal container was verified by visual inspection of the plastic container. Laboratory personnel checked for damaged or unsealed containers and verified that the data sheet was complete. 4 No damaged or unsealed containers were observed during inspection at the Tellco analytical laboratory. A total of 199 radon flux samples and ten blank samples were verified as valid. 6.3 Background and Sample Counting The gamma ray counting system was checked daily, including background and radium-226 source measurements prior to and after each counting session. Based on calibration statistics, using two sources with known radium-226 content, background and source control limits were established for each Ludlum/Teledyne counting system with shielded well (see Appendix A). Gamma ray counting of exposed charcoal samples included the following steps: • The length of count time was determined by the activity of the sample being analyzed, according to a data quality objective of a minimum of 1,000 accrued counts for any given sample. • The sample container was centered on the Nal detector and the shielded well door was closed. • The sample was counted over a determined count length and then the mid-sample count time, date, and gross counts were documented on the radon flux measurements data sheet and used in the calculations. • The above steps were repeated for each exposed charcoal sample. • Approximately 10 percent of the containers counted were selected for recounting. These containers were recounted within a few days following the original count. 7. QUALITY CONTROL (QC) AND DATA VALIDATION Charcoal flux measurement QC samples included the following intra-laboratory analytical frequency objectives: • Blanks, 5 percent, and • Recounts, 10 percent All sample data were subjected to validation protocols that included assessments of sensitivity, precision, accuracy, and completeness. As described below, all Method 115-required data quality objectives (EPA, 2012) were attained. 7.1 Sensitivity A total of ten blanks were analyzed by measuring the radon progeny activity in samples subjected to all aspects of the measurement process, excepting exposure to the source region. These blank sample measurements comprised approximately five percent of the field measurements. The results of the blank sample radon flux rates ranged from -0.01 to 0.02 pCi/m2-s, with an average of approximately 0.01 pCi/m2-s. The lower limit of detection (LLD) ranged from approximately 0.03 to 0.05 pCi/m2-s. 5 7.2 Precision Twenty recount measurements, distributed throughout the sample set, were performed by replicating analyses of individual field samples (see Appendix B). These recount measurements comprised approximately 10 percent of the total number of samples analyzed. The precision of all recount measurements, expressed as relative percent difference (RPD), ranged from less than 0.1 percent to 7.5 percent with an overall average precision of approximately 2.5 percent RPD. This complies with the precision objective of 10 percent. 7.3 Accuracy Accuracy of field measurements was assessed daily by counting two laboratory control samples with known Ra-226 content. Accuracy of these lab control sample measurements, expressed as percent bias, ranged from approximately -1.5 percent to +1.1 percent. The arithmetic average bias of the lab control sample measurements was approximately -0.4 percent (see Appendix A). This complies with the accuracy objective of +/- 10 percent. 7.4 Completeness A combined total of 199 samples from the Cell 3 Beaches and Covered regions were verified, representing approximately 99.5 percent completeness, which complies with the completeness objective of 85 percent. 8. CALCULATIONS Radon flux rates were calculated for charcoal collection samples using calibration factors derived from cross-calibration to sources with known total activity with identical geometry as the charcoal containers. A yield efficiency factor was used to calculate the total activity of the sample charcoal containers. Individual field sample result values presented were not reduced by the results of the field blank analyses. In practice, radon flux rates were calculated by a database computer program. The algorithms utilized by the data base program were as follows: Equation 8.1: pCi Rn-222/nrsec = rrs*A*b*0.5(d/9175)] where: N = net sample count rate, cpm under 220-662 keV peak Ts = sample duration, seconds b = instrument calibration factor, cpm per pCi; values used: 0.1699, for M-01/D-21 and 0.1702, for M-02/D-20 d = decay time, elapsed hours between sample mid-time and count mid-time A = area of the canister, m2 6 Equation 8.2: Error, 2cr = 2 x Gross Sample, cpm Background Sample,cpm Sample Count,t,min Background Count,t,min x Sample Concentration Net,cpm Equation 8.3: Iin = 2.71+ (4.65 )(Su) LLU [Ts*A*b*0.5(d/9T75)] where: 2.71 = constant 4.65 = confidence interval factor Sb = standard deviation of the background count rate Ts = sample duration, seconds b = instrument calibration factor, cpm per pCi; values used: 0.1699, for M-01/D-21 and 0.1702, for M-02/D-20 d = decay time, elapsed hours between sample mid-time and count mid-time A = area of the canister, m2 9. RESULTS 9.1 Mean Radon Flux Referencing 40 CFR, Part 61, Subpart W, Appendix B, Method 115 - Monitoring for Radon-222 Emissions, Subsection 2.1.7 - Calculations, "the mean radon flux for each region of the pile and for the total pile shall be calculated and reported as follows: (a) The individual radon flux calculations shall be made as provided in Appendix A EPA 86(1). The mean radon flux for each region of the pile shall be calculated by summing all individual flux measurements for the region and dividing by the total number of flux measurements for the region. (b) The mean radon flux for the total uranium mill tailings pile shall be calculated as follows: Ji Ai + ... hA7 r+1 ... JiAj Js = At Where: Js = Mean flux for the total pile (pCi/m2-s) Ji = Mean flux measured in region i (pCi/m2-s) Aj = Area of region i (m2) At = Total area of the pile (m2)" 40 CFR 61, Subpart W, Appendix B, Method 115, Subsection 2.1.8, Reporting states "The results of individual flux measurements, the approximate locations on the pile, and the mean radon flux for each region and the mean radon flux for the total stack [pile] shall be included in the emission test report. Any condition or unusual event that occurred during the measurements that could significantly affect the results should be reported." 7 9.2 Site Results Site Specific Sample Results (reference Appendix C) (a) The mean radon flux for each region within Cell 3 is as follows: Cell 3 - Beaches Region = 56.6 pCi/m2-s (based on 17,558 m2 area) Cell 3 - Covered Region - 4.6 pCi/m2-s (based on 231,175 m2 area) Note: Reference Appendix C of this report for the entire summary of individual measurement results. (b) Using the data presented above, the calculated mean radon flux for Cell 3 is, as follows: Cell 3= 7.1pCi/m2-s (56.6)(17<558)+(4.6X23L175) =7.1 288,858 As shown above, the arithmetic mean radon flux of the December 2013 samples for Cell 3 at Energy Fuels White Mesa milling facility is below the NRC and EPA standard of 20 pCi/m2-s. Local drought conditions, which were especially severe during 2012 and the first half of 2013, are believed to have resulted in a lowering of the moisture levels in the buried tailings and cover materials, leading to increased radon flux rates at the site. Subsequently, rain storms in the latter part of 2013 have likely increased the moisture content in the Cell 3 cover layer, beginning with some intense storms in September 2013, which produced very heavy rain downpours and flash flooding at Cell 3, with most of the water running off or pooling on the surface. Since then, additional storm events have continued to provide water, which is very slowly percolating into the cover soils and are apparently finally beginning to reduce the radon flux emissions at Cell 3. Appendix C is a summary of individual measurement results, including blank sample analysis. Sample locations are depicted on Figure 2, which is included in Appendix D. The map was produced by Tellco. 8 References U. S.
