RE: Engineering Module 73
Inspection of Disposal of Bulk Byproduct Material
Radioactive Material License Number UT 1900479

Dear Ms. Weinel:

On October 7, 2021, Russ Topham, representing the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control,
conducted an inspection of disposal of 11e.(2) byproduct material at the White Mesa Uranium Mill. Results
of the inspection were discussed with plant management at the conclusion of the inspection.

The inspection focused on application of Procedure PBL-10, governing receipt and disposal of 11e.(2)
byproduct material. Based on the findings documented during the inspection, the items reviewed were found
to be in compliance with the Utah Radiation Control Rules and requirements for this license, and in
conformance with the referenced procedure.

Please note that SOP PBL-10 is out of date. Changes made in Amendment 10 to your Radioactive Material
License affecting the management of burial locations and quantities of material received from each unique
generator. The inspection revealed that the field crews were aware of the changes and followed them, but the
written procedure had not been updated.

If you have any questions, please call Russ Topham at [phone].

Sincerely,

Phil Goble, Uranium Mills and Radioactive Materials Manager
Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control
