NRC Agreement State Webinar Charlene and Valerie:
The NRC Agreement State Program branch is sponsoring another webinar to discuss the status of the WY Agreement State application with THPOs who have previously consulted with NRC on uranium recovery in WY. Registration information is contained in the invitation that is below. Duncan White, who is a senior project manager in the ASBP will present on the status of the application, the path forward on existing MOAs/PAs, and the publication and comment period for the final application.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is sponsoring to discuss the status of the State of Wyomings application to join the NRCs Agreement State Program. The NRCs Agreement State Program allows the NRC to relinquish and a State to assume regulatory authority for certain types of nuclear material. The State of Wyoming has applied to assume regulatory authority for uranium recovery activities within the State.
The webinar, Update on the State of Wyoming Becoming an Agreement State is scheduled for Thursday April 26, 2018 at 3:00PM EDT. You may register to participate at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4057444586817015553 The presenter will address issues identified in recent phone calls with some Tribal Historic Preservation Offices, such as:
- Is there Tribal involvement in the State of Wyomings proposed regulations?
- Would there be Federal involvement in projects on Federal or Tribal lands?
- What will NRCs role be in the future in ensuring that the State of Wyoming maintains the same safety standards for uranium recovery projects?
Additional topics will include 1) an update on Wyomings progress in the Agreement application process over the last year; 2) the status and actions taken on the Programmatic Agreements and Memorandum of Agreements associated with some existing uranium
recovery licenses ; and 3) the publication of the draft NRC staff assessment of the Wyoming agreement application for public comment. The webinar will conclude with a question and answer session.
