VALUE/ IMPACT STATEMENT An NRC source and byproduct material license is required in order to process uranium solutions extracted from in situ uranium solution mining opera-ti or.s.
General guidance for filing an application is provided in S 40.31 of 10 CFR Part 40, "Domestic Licensing of Source Material." Regulatory Guide 3.46 (Task FP 818-4) provides specific guidance on the format and content of appli-cations, including environmental reports, for licenses to authorize in situ uranium solution mining operations.
The guide conforms to NRC regulations and reflects experience gained over the past several years in actual licensing cases.
Basic detailed guidance is essential to applicants for the efficient preparation of applications, including environmental reports, for in situ h
uranium solution mining facility licenses and for their review by the NRC staff.
l Such detailed guidance is not presently delineated in NRC regulations or in regulatory guides.
Based on experience gained in the issuance of such licenses, the NRC staff has identified information that should be contained in applica-tions, including environmental reports, to reflect present needs and practices.
Such information provided in a regulatory guide will be helpful to both appli-cants and the NRC staff in reducing the cost and time involved in preparing and processing license applications.
It should result in a significant
{
reduction in the number of questions and requests 'or clarification submitted by the NRC staff to applicants, should improve the consistency in application reviews because of more uniform application submittals, should reduce the amount of NRC staff review effort in license processing, and should expedite licensing actions.
