Dear Mr. Cowne:

This refers to a routine safeguards inspection conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) from September 21-24, 2020, at the URENCO USA (UUSA) facility located in Eunice, New Mexico. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Implemented alternative ways to complete the core inspection program for your facility when routine onsite inspections could not be performed as scheduled due to the public health emergency declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services on January 31, 2020 (as renewed on April 21, 2020, and July 23, 2020), and the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on March 12, 2020, concerning the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection, which was conducted through remote activities. The results of the inspection were discussed with members of your staff during an exit meeting held on December 21, 2020.

Areas examined during this inspection included management structure, item control, measurement systems and control, physical inventory, resolution, assessment, and recordkeeping. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative records, and interviews with personnel. No violations of more than minor significance were identified during this inspection.
