UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 70-7001; 70-7002]
United States Enrichment Corporation: Paducah Gaseous Diffusion
Plant; Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant; Notice of Cancellation of
Comment Period and Cancellation of Public Meetings Due to Inadequate
Application for Certification
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received by letter
dated April 18, 1995, an application from the United States Enrichment
Corporation (USEC) for the initial certification of the gaseous
diffusion plants (GDPs) located near Paducah, Kentucky and Piketon,
Ohio. Notice of receipt of this application along with notice of
comment period and public meetings was published in The Federal
Register on April 28, 1995 (60 FR 21011). However, NRC's preliminary
[[Page 24935]] review of the application indicates that the application
does not contain enough information for NRC to determine compliance
with NRC regulation 10 CFR part 76. Therefore, USEC has been notified
that it must submit a new application. Note that this determination
does not constitute a finding that the GDP operations are unsafe or in
noncompliance.
The public comment period from April 28, 1995 to June 15, 1995, and
the public meetings scheduled for May 23 and May 24, 1995, have been
cancelled. They will be rescheduled at a later date when USEC submits
the new application.
Copies of the application for certification (except for classified
and proprietary portions withheld in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790,
``Availability of Public Records''), dated April 18, 1995, will
continue to be available for public inspection and copying at the
Commission's Public Document Room (PDR) and Local Public Document Rooms
(LPDR) established for the gaseous diffusion plants. Upon receipt,
USEC's new application will also be made available at the PDR and
respective LPDR's. Copies of related correspondence and staff
evaluations (except for portions withheld in accordance with 10 CFR
2.790) will continue to be made available at these locations.
