Permit for the Northwest Medical Isotopes Radioisotope Production Facility(ADAMS Accession No. ML17130A862) 3Exhibit NWMI-007-RProposed ActionDecide whether to issue a construction permit under 10 CFR 50 that would allow construction of the NWMI medical radioisotope production facility (RPF)If a construction permit is granted by NRC, NWMI could build the proposed facility at the 3 hectare (7.4-acre) Discovery Ridge Research Park (Discovery Ridge) site, in Boone County, Columbia, MissouriNWMI RPF activities include:Fabricating low-enriched uranium (LEU) targets (including uranium recycle and recovery)Shipping targets to university research reactorsIrradiating LEU targets at university research reactorsReturning targets to RPFLEU target dissolutionMolybdenum-99 (99Mo) recovery and purification 4Exhibit NWMI-007-RConsultationsAdvisory Council on Historic PreservationBoone County Government CenterCity of Columbia, MissouriMid-Missouri Regional Planning CommissionMissouri
