The inspection considered the conditions of the facilities. The inspection also explored crew understanding of the principles and practices necessary to maintain a healthy tailings management system.
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. If you have any questions, please call Russ Topham at (801) 536-4256.
