Dear Mr Frydenlund
On November 30, 2012, the Utah Division of Radiation Control (DRC) received the 3'"'' Quarter,
2012 DMT Performance Standards Monitonng Report and Cell 4A and Cell 4B Performance
Standards Monitonng Report (dated November 29, 2012) for the EFR White Mesa Mill near
Blanding, Utah This letter summanzes the outcome of our staff review of the Report The DRC
findings were as follows
1 On July 5, 2012, workers removing sediment fi-om Roberts Pond snagged and tore a
portion of the Imer The pond contained no fluid at the time, and crews repaired the tear on
July 12, 2012
2 On July 23, 2012, while performing the daily inspection regimen, EFR plant personnel
discovered that the Cell 4A LDS system displayed data, but the data logger had ceased
recording Plant personnel recorded on the inspection forms the readings required under
the DMT Plan Plant personnel reset the recording equipment, after which proper
recording resumed Having recorded the required data on the inspection form, no violation
of the data acquisition portions of the DMT Plan occurred EFR retumed the system to
proper operation within 24 hours of discovery of the malfiinction, as required
3 In all other respects it appears EFR complied with applicable standards as detailed in the
DMT and BAT Plans
