UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 30, 2020 MEMORANDUM TO: Damaris Marcano, Acting Fuel Fancily Licensing Branch Division of Fuel Management Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards FROM: David H.

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT RELATED TO A REQUEST FOR 10 CFR 20.2002 ALTERNATE DISPOSAL APPROVAL AND EXEMPTIONS FROM 10 CFR PART 30 AND 10 CFR PART 70 FOR DISPOSAL OF COLUMBIA FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY WASTE AT THE US ECOLOGY IDAHO FACILITY (ENTERPRISE PROJECT IDENTIFIER L-2020-LLL-0009)

On May 8, 2020, Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC (WEC) requested that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approve an alternate disposal request (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) ML20129J934), pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 20.2002, Method for obtaining approval of proposed disposal procedures, for the disposal of specified low-activity radioactive materials from the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF). Characterization of the material identified byproduct material and special nuclear material (SNM). US Ecology, Inc. (USEI), in coordination with WEC, is also requesting corresponding specific exemptions from 10 CFR 30.3 and 10 CFR 70.3 pursuant to 10 CFR 30.11(a) and 10 CFR 70.17(a). The NRCs approval of the 10 CFR 20.2002 request, along with the requested exemptions, would allow WEC to transfer the specific waste for disposal at the USEI Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Subtitle C disposal facility, rather than requiring the disposal of the material in a 10 CFR Part 61 Low-Level Waste disposal facility.

Enclosed is the Staffs Safety Evaluation report that evaluated the request.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this memorandum will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from ADAMS. The ADAMS database is accessible from the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
