MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR THE NICHOLS RANCH IN-SITU RECOVERY PROJECT
Dear Ms. Rugwell:
On June 28, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) informed you by letter that the State of Wyoming was pursuing an agreement in which the NRC would discontinue, and the State of Wyoming would assume, regulatory authority for activities related to uranium and thorium milling (also known as uranium recovery) under the NRCs Agreement State program.
The NRC also indicated that if an agreement with the State of Wyoming was reached, the agency would end its participation in the Nichols Ranch In-Situ Recovery Project Memorandum of Agreement (MOA).
The agreement between the NRC and State of Wyoming was signed and became effective on September 30, 2018. The Nichols Ranch In-Situ Recovery Project license was transferred to the State of Wyoming as part of the agreement, and the NRC no longer has any approval or regulatory authority over the license. As a result, the NRC has ended its participation in the MOA for the Nichols Ranch In-Situ Recovery Project effective September 30, 2018.
If you have any questions about the Wyoming Agreement, please contact me or Stephen Poy of my staff at (301) 415-7135 or at his e-mail at Stephen.Poy@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA Kevin Williams for/
