NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 40-3453]
Notice of Issuance of Amendment 26 to Source Material License
SUA-917 Amending License Condition (LC) 55 for Atlas Corporation's
(Atlas') Uranium Mill Facility at Moab, Utah
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Amendment 26 to Source Material License SUA-917, issued January
22, 1996, amends LC 55 to show that interim cover placement has been
completed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: By letter dated October 25, 1995, Atlas Corporation (Atlas)
submitted a request to amend condition 55 (LC 55) of Source Material
License No. SUA-917. LC 55 lists the completion dates for reclamation
milestones established as targets in the Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (56 FR 55432,
October 25, 1991). Atlas requested that the license date for completion
of placement of the interim cover in LC 55A.(2), be changed from
October 31, 1995 to November 30, 1995. By letter dated November 13,
1995, Atlas notified NRC that it completed placement of the cover on
November 10, 1995. Atlas' failure to complete the interim cover on the
tailings impoundment by October 30, 1995, was due to unanticipated
problems in actually placing cover over areas of the pile that had
previously been covered by water. Atlas had been placing the interim
cover since October 4, 1995, and at the time of its license amendment
request, had completed 60 percent of this final phase and 92 percent of
the entire pile. On January 22, 1996, the license was amended to show
that placement of the interim cover was complete.
