Mr. Peter Vescovi, Licensing Manager IKE Program Orano Enrichment USA, LLC 4747 Bethesda Ave., Suite 1001 Bethesda, MD 20814
SUBJECT:
ONLINE REFERENCE PORTAL INFORMATION ACCESS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AND ORANO ENRICHMENT USA, LLC
Dear Peter Vescovi:
Orano Enrichment USA, LLC (Orano) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff discussed the use of an online reference portal that would provide authorized NRC staff and contractors with limited read-only access to certain materials owned by and under the control of Orano. The purpose of the online reference portal is to enhance the NRC staffs ability to timely and efficiently perform its regulatory licensing responsibilities by providing access to reference materials related to the planned Orano application for a uranium enrichment facility under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 70. As a result of these discussions, via electronic communication dated June 3, 2025 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession No. ML25178A295), you submitted a draft Information Access Agreement (Agreement, ML25178A296) for NRC staff review and comments.
We have completed our review of the draft Agreement. The enclosure to this communication provides the NRC staffs comments and suggested edits to the draft Agreement you submitted.
We request that Orano accordingly revise, sign and date, and resubmit the Agreement to the NRC for final approval and signature. The Agreement will be used as the only acknowledgment form for authorizing the NRC staff and contractors to access the online reference portal. Any subsequent modifications or additions to the Agreement would require further review by the NRC staff.
Please note that if the NRC staff determines that information viewed or accessed via the online reference portal is necessary to support the NRCs regulatory licensing responsibilities, the NRC staff will inform Orano and will request that Orano formally submit such information in accordance with 10 CFR 70.5, Communications.
August 6, 2025
P. Vescovi If you have any questions or comments concerning this matter, I can be reached at (301) 415-3487 or via email at Samantha.Lav@nrc.gov.
Sincerely, Samantha Lav, Chief Fuel Facility Licensing Branch Division of Fuel Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 07007038
