SUBJECT:
UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF COMMENTS ON UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY MOAB URANIUM MILL TAILINGS REMEDIAL ACTION PROJECT ALTERNATIVE FINAL COVER SYSTEM 60 PERCENT DESIGN REPORT (DOCKET WM00110).
Dear Mr. McCallister:
By letter dated August 30, 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), provided an Alternative Final Cover System 60 Percent Design Report for the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action project to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The submittal was provided to facilitate the NRC staffs review and understanding of the changes to the remedial action plan that DOE is considering.
The NRC staff has completed its review of the draft report and has prepared comments for the DOEs consideration. The NRC staffs comments are focused on aspects of the remedial action plan that are impacted by the proposed change in the cover system design: geotechnical stability (slope stability and settlement), surface water hydrology and erosion protection, and radon attenuation. The NRC staffs comments are provided in the enclosure to this letter and have been organized by the previously stated topics.
The NRC staff is available to clarify its comments, if necessary. The NRC staff looks forward to working with DOE on this revision to the remedial action plan for the Moab project.
A copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
