RE: Bagged CaF2 Material from Honeywell
Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (EFRI)
Radioactive Material License (RML) UT1900479

Dear Mr. Frydenlund:

In a letter dated May 26, 2017 to the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control, Energy
Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (EFRI) described an additional CaF2 (referred in the EFRI letter as bagged
CaF2 material) material. EFRI explained that it was their intent to accept this material under currently
approved License Condition 10.7 and to process it at the White Mesa Uranium Mill. EFRI made the
justification that it can accept this bagged CaF2 material under License Condition 10.7 because it comes
from the same process that produces the CaF2 material that has already been accepted and processed at
the Mill. EFRI indicated that the CaF2 material would be transferred between the Honeywell facility
and the White Mesa Mill using Super Sacs instead of drums. The difference is that the bagged CaF2
material is lower in uranium concentration and it has a higher moisture content than the original CaF2
material.

The Division has evaluated the information provided by EFRI regarding this request and concurs that
the bagged CaF2 material can be accepted under the currently approved License Condition 10.7, subject
to the following provisions:

1. The Super Sacs or equivalent shall meet the packaging requirements for LSA material found in
10CFR71and 49CFR173.427.

2. The Super Sacs or equivalent shall be transported to the White Mesa Mill in an enclosed
conveyance.
(over)

3. EFRI shall provide a 60-day notice of the first shipment.

The Division will inspect compliance aspects of this project during future inspections at the White Mesa
Mill. If you have any questions please call Ryan Johnson at [phone].

Sincerely,

Scott T. Anderson, Director
Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control
