Dear Ms. Sanchez:

By letter dated June 8, 2018, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18166A003), Interim Storage Partners LLC (ISP), a joint venture of Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS) and Orano CIS LLC (a subsidiary of Orano USA),

requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) resume all safety and environmental review activities associated with the proposed WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility (WCS CISF) license application. ISP requested authorization to store up to 5,000 metric tons of uranium for a period of 40 years in the WCS CISF.

The NRC staff is conducting a detailed security review of ISPs proposed Physical Security Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Security Training and Qualifications Plan for the WCS CISF and has determined that additional information is necessary to complete its review. The information needed by the NRC staff is discussed in the enclosed request for additional information (RAI). As discussed in our August 21, 2018, letter notifying you of our decision to resume the WCS CISF technical review, the NRC staff expects to issue its first round RAIs in two parts (ADAMS Accession No. ML18225A281). The enclosed RAIs only address the physical security portions of the application. Additional RAIs may be issued in the future as the staffs detailed review progresses.

We request that you provide responses within 60 days from the date of this letter. If you are unable to meet these deadlines, please notify NRC staff in writing, within two weeks of receipt of this letter, of your new submittal date and the reasons for the delay.
