The purpose of this proposed CAP is
to remediate existing groundwater
contamination and to facilitate the
eventual termination of License No.
SUB–1010. This CAP is part of an
overall site reclamation program
described in SFC’s Reclamation Plan
(RP) dated January 2003. SFC’s RP was
reviewed and approved by NRC on
April 20, 2009 (License Amendment
33). Whereas the RP primarily addresses
the site decommissioning, disposal cell
construction, and surface reclamation,
the CAP addresses residual
contamination in groundwater.

I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:22 Sep 27, 2010
Jkt 220001
issuance of a license amendment to
Sequoyah Fuels Corporation (SFC or
licensee) for License No. SUB–1010.
This action would authorize SFC to
implement the groundwater corrective
action plan (CAP) proposed for its site
in Gore, Oklahoma. SFC’s proposal for
the CAP was first submitted to the NRC
by letter dated June 16, 2003, and was
supplemented by additional information
submitted to the NRC by letters dated,
December 16, 2005, July 2, 2009, and
July 31, 2009. By letter dated August 18,
2010, SFC submitted a June 14, 2010,
revision of the CAP that encompasses
all supplements in a single document.
NRC previously issued an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
in support of this action in accordance
with the requirements of 10 CFR part
51. See NUREG–1888, ‘‘Environmental
Impact Statement for the Reclamation of
the Sequoyah Fuels Corporation Site in
Gore, Oklahoma,’’ issued May 2008.
III. NRC Review
The NRC staff reviewed the CAP and
supporting documents using Section 4.0
of NUREG–1620, ‘‘Standard Review Plan
for the Review of a Reclamation Plan for
Mill Tailings Sites Under Title II of the
Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation
Control Act of 1978,’’ Rev. 1, issued June
2003. The staff’s review process
included evaluating the site
hydrogeology particularly with respect
to the locations and types of
groundwater restoration structures.
Effectiveness of the proposed action was
then evaluated by reviewing flow and
transport models, as well as actual
volume and concentration data from the
current structures. Finally, the staff
reviewed groundwater flow and
contaminant transport models to
evaluate the long-term groundwater
contaminant concentrations and
pollutant loads during and after
corrective actions are completed.
SFC’s CAP specifies the use of
interceptor trenches and recovery wells
placed in hydrologically strategic
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
positions to intercept groundwater
contamination remaining onsite. The
CAP does not draw back any
contamination that has passed the
extraction points. Consequently, the
CAP allows small pollutant loads
(defined as pollutant concentration x
volumetric flow) to enter the surface
water system. However, NRC staff
determined that the pollutant loads to
surface water pose little threat to human
health and safety and the environment.
A Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated
September 20, 2010 (ML101170749)
documents the NRC staff’s technical
review of the CAP to determine its
compliance with 10 CFR Part 40,
Appendix A.
SFC’s request for the proposed
amendment was previously noticed in
the Federal Register (68 FR 51033; Aug.
25, 2003) with a notice of an
opportunity to request a hearing. The
State of Oklahoma and the Cherokee
Nation submitted requests for hearing
on September 29, 2003 and October 2,
2003, respectively. Both requests were
subsequently denied on November 19,
2003. No other comments or requests for
a hearing were received.
The Final EIS for the Reclamation of
the Sequoyah Fuels Corporation Site in
Gore, Oklahoma (NUREG–1888) was
issued on May 20, 2008. The EIS
documented the NRC staff’s
determination that all steps in the
proposed reclamation could be
accomplished in compliance with the
NRC public and occupational dose
limits, effluent release limits, and
residual radioactive material limits. In
addition, the EIS concluded that
approval of the proposed action, in
accordance with the commitments in
NRC License SUB–1010 and the final
RP, would not result in a significant
adverse impact on the environment.
The findings, required by the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
necessary to support the proposed site
reclamation activities will be
documented in an SER that will be
issued in connection with this license
amendment.
IV. Further Information
Documents related to this action,
including the application for
amendment and supporting
documentation, are available
electronically at the NRC’s Electronic
Reading Room at https://www.nrc.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering
issuance of a license amendment to Sequoyah Fuels Corporation (SFC or
licensee) for License No. SUB-1010. This action would authorize SFC to
implement the groundwater corrective action plan (CAP) proposed for its
site in Gore, Oklahoma. SFC's proposal for the CAP was first submitted
to the NRC by letter dated June 16, 2003, and was supplemented by
additional information submitted to the NRC by letters dated, December
16, 2005, July 2, 2009, and July 31, 2009. By letter dated August 18,
2010, SFC submitted a June 14, 2010, revision of the CAP that
encompasses all supplements in a single document. NRC previously issued
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in support of this action in
accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR part 51. See NUREG-1888,
``Environmental Impact Statement for the Reclamation of the Sequoyah
Fuels Corporation Site in Gore, Oklahoma,'' issued May 2008.
II. Proposed Action
The purpose of this proposed CAP is to remediate existing
groundwater contamination and to facilitate the eventual termination of
License No. SUB-1010. This CAP is part of an overall site reclamation
program described in SFC's Reclamation Plan (RP) dated January 2003.
SFC's RP was reviewed and approved by NRC on April 20, 2009 (License
Amendment 33). Whereas the RP primarily addresses the site
decommissioning, disposal cell construction, and surface reclamation,
the CAP addresses residual contamination in groundwater.
III. NRC Review
The NRC staff reviewed the CAP and supporting documents using
Section 4.0 of NUREG-1620, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of a
Reclamation Plan for Mill Tailings Sites Under Title II of the Uranium
Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978,'' Rev. 1, issued June
2003. The staff's review process included evaluating the site
hydrogeology particularly with respect to the locations and types of
groundwater restoration structures. Effectiveness of the proposed
action was then evaluated by reviewing flow and transport models, as
well as actual volume and concentration data from the current
structures. Finally, the staff reviewed groundwater flow and
contaminant transport models to evaluate the long-term groundwater
contaminant concentrations and pollutant loads during and after
corrective actions are completed.
SFC's CAP specifies the use of interceptor trenches and recovery
wells placed in hydrologically strategic positions to intercept
groundwater contamination remaining onsite. The CAP does not draw back
any contamination that has passed the extraction points. Consequently,
the CAP allows small pollutant loads (defined as pollutant
concentration x volumetric flow) to enter the surface water system.
However, NRC staff determined that the pollutant loads to surface water
pose little threat to human health and safety and the environment. A
Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated September 20, 2010 (ML101170749)
documents the NRC staff's technical review of the CAP to determine its
compliance with 10 CFR Part 40, Appendix A.
SFC's request for the proposed amendment was previously noticed in
the Federal Register (68 FR 51033; Aug. 25, 2003) with a notice of an
opportunity to request a hearing. The State of Oklahoma and the
Cherokee Nation submitted requests for hearing on September 29, 2003
and October 2, 2003, respectively. Both requests were subsequently
denied on November 19, 2003. No other comments or requests for a
hearing were received.
The Final EIS for the Reclamation of the Sequoyah Fuels Corporation
Site in Gore, Oklahoma (NUREG-1888) was issued on May 20, 2008. The EIS
documented the NRC staff's determination that all steps in the proposed
reclamation could be accomplished in compliance with the NRC public and

radioactive material limits. In addition, the EIS concluded that
approval of the proposed action, in accordance with the commitments in

significant adverse impact on the environment.
The findings, required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
