Lakewood, CO 80228 RE: Accepting and Processing Uranium Ore and Equivalent Feed from the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) at the White Mesa Mill, Radioactive Material License Number UT 1900479.
Dear Mr. Frydenlund: In a letter dated May 19, 2020, Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. (EFRI) sent a letter to the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (DWMRC), informing the DWMRC of their intent to
accept and process uranium ore samples and equivalent feed from two facilities run by the Japan Atomic
Energy Agency. According to the letter approximately 136 tons of naturally occurring ore and equivalent feed would be sent to the Mill for processing. Based on the information provided, the DWMRC concurs that this material is naturally occurring ore and equivalent feed and no additional licensing would be required for the Mill to accept and process this material.
The DWMRC will inspect compliance aspects of this project during future inspections at the White Mesa Mill. If you have any questions please contact Ryan Johnson, at 801-536-4255. Sincerely,

Ty L. Howard, Director Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control
