NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 40-8584]


Kennecott Uranium Co.; Sweetwater Uranium Mill

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of a request to amend Source Material License 
SUA-1350 to allow for disposal of byproduct material at Kennecott 
Uranium Company's Sweetwater Uranium Mill.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Proposed Action

    By letter dated July 21, 1993, Kennecott Uranium Company, holder of 
Source Material License SUA-1350 for the Sweetwater Uranium Mill, 
requested an amendment to License Condition No. 10.6 to allow for 
disposal of byproduct material from U.S. Energy's Green Mountain Ion 
Exchange Facility, which is being decommissioned.

2. Reason for Request to Amend License

    Kennecott Uranium Company's Sweetwater Mill is currently in a 
standby status. As a result, License Condition No. 10.6 limits disposal 
in the tailings impoundment to byproduct material in the form of debris 
generated by routine site maintenance. Kennecott has requested that the 
license condition be amended to allow for disposal of byproduct 
material from U.S. Energy Corporation's Green Mountain Ion Exchange 
Facility. This material is characterized as byproduct material as 
defined in 10 CFR 40.4.
    Upon completion of the NRC staff's review of Kennecott's request, 
notice of the action to be taken regarding the amendment request will 
be published in the Federal Register with an opportunity to request a 
hearing, in accordance with Subpart L of 10 CFR 2.

    Signed in Denver, Colorado this 15th day of February 1994.

Director, Uranium Recovery Field Office.
