NRC informed Cameco that there were 27 remaining RAI responses that had insufficient information to complete the review. Included with this correspondence are thirteen (13) technical report (TR) RAI responses and two (2) environmental report (ER) responses.
The twelve (12) outstanding TR RAis related to radiation safety will be sent to NRC in an additional submittal.
The additional ER data included with this letter should contain the requested information to complete the outstanding ER responses.
