RE: Equivalent Feed Review from the Cotter Corporation's Schwartzwalder Mine: Radioactive
Material License Number (RML) UT 1900479
Dear Ms. Weinel:
On April 16, 2015. Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (EFRI) submitted to the Utah Division of
Radiation Control (DRC) a letter justifying the classification of the material from the Cotter
Corporation's Schwartzwalder Mine as equivalent feed. The DRC reviewed the letter and has
compared the information provided to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) guidance
document NRC REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 2012-06, NRC POLICY REGARDING
SUBMITTAL OF AMENDMENTS FOR PROCESSING OF EQUIVALENT FEED AT
LICENSED URANIUM RECOVERY FACILITIES. After reviewing the provided information,
the DRC has concluded that the material from the Cotter Corporation's Schwartzwalder Mine
meets the criteria for an equivalent feed. Therefore, RML UT 1900479 does not require a license
amendment for EFRI to accept and process this material at the White Mesa Mill.
If you have any questions please contact Ryan Johnson at 801-536-4250.
Sincerely,
Rusty Lundberg,
RL/rj/RJ
