NRC ANNOUNCES OPPORTUNITY TO REQUEST HEARING ON LICENSE APPLICATION FOR URANIUM RECOVERY OPERATION IN WYOMING |
|||||||||
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has announced an opportunity to request a hearing on the license application by Energy Metals Corp. US to construct and operate an in-situ leach uranium recovery operation at Moore Ranch in Campbell County, Wyo. Energy Metals Corp. US, based in Edmund, Okla., is a subsidiary of Energy Metals Corp. of Vancouver, British Columbia. It submitted the application Oct. 3. If approved, the license would be valid for 10 years. The NRC staff has completed its initial review and determined that the application is sufficiently complete for the staff to docket the application and begin its detailed environmental and safety reviews. Docketing the application does not indicate approval of the proposed operation, nor does it preclude NRC from requesting additional information from the applicant to aid in performing the review. A notice of opportunity to request a hearing was published Jan. 25 in the Federal Register. The notice provides detailed instructions on how to file a request using the NRC’s new E-Filing system. The deadline to request a hearing is March 25. The notice and the license application are available on NRC’s Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/adjudicatory/hearing-license-applications.html#2. |
