Dear Mr. DeLaBarre:
Enclosed is an application dated August 30,1999 from Starmet CMI for a license to import into their Barnwell, South Carolina facility the following radioactive materials: 1) depleted uranium swarf/ turnings; 2) solid depleted uranium cylindrical pieces, and 3) contaminated mineral oil.
The machined swarf/ turnings are from the manufacture of component parts of ammunition being produced on a Ministry of Defense contract at the Royal Ordnance facility in the United Kingdom; the solid waste in the form of cylindrical pieces is from obsoleta designs from the development phase of the contract; and the oil is the materialin which the swarf/ turnings are stored and shipped in order to prevent combustion. The oil becomes contaminated and will 1
also require processing at the Starmet facility prior to reuse or disposal.
. Several shipments are scheduled over a four year period totaling 80,000 kilograms of depleted uranium along with a maximum of 45,000 liters of mineral oil. Each shipment will use British Nuclear Fuels LTD approved ISO freight containers, and the shipments are expected to commencein April 2000.
Starmet advises that they are the original manufacturer / supplier of this depleted uranium material and they have developed a recycling process for depleted uranium materials. The process converts the metal to oxide that is then used in radiation shielding products manufactured by Starmet. All the material to be imported was originally manufactured by Starmet.

..Beforo taking cction on this application, we request your assistance in notifying the British government of the proposed radioactive waste shipments and obtaining any comments in the context of the Code of Practice on Transboundary Movement of Radioactive Waste. We also request your views as to whether the subject import would be consistent wit,h the Code's guidelines. NRC will consult with South Carolina State authorities regarding the proposed import.

Dear Mr. Hauber:
Starmet CMI (CMI) requests, under 10CFR110.27, the issuance of a general -
i
- license authorization to import redioactive depleted uranium tumings to our Bamwell, South Carolina facility.
The CMI facility operates various processes in the conversion of uranium hexafluoride to uranium metal products, including the production of uranium oxide. CMI is permitted to receive this material and to perform the described processing under our South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control (SCDHEC) Radioactive Material License Number 322. A copy of this license is attached for Department review.
The depleted uranium material to be imported is the machined swarf/tumings from the manufacture of a component part of ammunition being produced on a Ministry of Defense contract (CB/AS2A) at the Royal Ordnance facility in the United Kingdom. Additionally there is a quantity of solid waste in the form of cylindrical pieces arising from obsolete designs from the development phase of this contract. A copy of the export license application submitted by Royal Ordnance PLC to the Department of Trade and Industry in London is attached for review.
it should be noted that the consignee, Starmet Corporation, was the original manufacturer / supplier of this depleted uranium material and has davek> ped a recycling process for depleted uranium materials. This converts the metal to oxide that is then used in radiation shielding products manufactured by Starmet.
All the material to be imported will have been originally manufactured by Starmet.
In order to prevent combustion of the finely divided swarf/ turnings it must be stored under oil. This oil becomes contaminated and will also require processing by Starmet CMI prior to reuse or disposal.
Several shipments will be required over a four year period of the mod production L
contract and the 80,000 kilograms will be the maximum total quantity to be sent l
for recycling along with a maximum of 45,000 liters of mineral oil. Each shipment I

Page 2 of 2 LDG 031-99 08/30/99 will use British Nuclear Fuels LTD approved ISO freight containers. The exact quantity of material per shipment cannot be predetermined, as it is dependent on the actual size of the chips, which comprise the machined material, but there will be a maximum of 16.800 kilograms per shipment based on a gross weight of 20,000 kilograms for the ISO container. It is anticipated that shipments will commence in April 2000.
Enclosed is a check in the amount of $4,800 for the initial application fee in accordance with 10CFR170.31. If you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 803-259 2321.

AdditionalInformation Consignor's Reference : SAP ",001018 l
The depleted uranium waste material is the machined swarf/ turnings from the manufacture of a component part of ammunition being produced on a Ministry of Defence contract (CB/AS2A).
Additionally there is a quantity of solid waste in the form of cylindrical pieces arising from obsolete
. designs from the development phase of this contract.
j
\\
In order to prevent combustion of the finely divided swarf/ turnings it must be stored under oil. This oil becomes contaminated and will also require reprocessing by Starmet Corporation prior to reuse or disposal.
It shou!d be noted that the consignee, Starmet Corporation, was the original manufacturer / supplier of this depleted uranium material and has developed a recycling process for depleted uranium waste.
This converts the metal to oxide which is then used in radiation shielding products manufactured by Starmet. All the material to be exponed will have been originally manufactured by Starmet Several shipments will be required over the four year period of the mod production contract'and the 80,000 Kg will be maximum total quantity to be sent for recycling along with a maximum of 45,000 litres of mineral oil. Each shipment will use British Nuclear Fuels Ltd approved ISO freight containers. The exact quantity of material per shipment cannot be pre-determined as it is dependant on actual size of the chips which comprise the machined waste but there will be a maximum of 16.800 Kg per shipment based on a gross weight of 20,000 Kg for the ISO container, j
