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.
