Dear Dr. Moffett:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Connission (NRC), has reviewed the information and data provided by you concerning your request to dispose of Caneco's waste generated during the production of uranium hexafluoride.
Based on our review, the NRC has determined that the combined uranium and therium content of the waste is an unfinportant quantity of source material pursuant to 10 CFR 40.13(a).
Therefore, NRC has no objection to your proposal to import the waste and dispose of it in a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or state permitted hazardous waste facility.
The NRC recc inends that you contact the U.S. Department of State and the EPA to assure that those agencies have no objection to your proposal. Attached is corresponh: ice the NRC has received from the U.S Department of State (DOS),
during the course of its evaluation.
You shou M note that it has been suggested that Cameco test the material it tfishes to send to the U.S. in order to determine if. this material is hazardous waste.
The NRC reconnends that you pursue this matter with the DOS and EPA.
Finally, you should be aware that the NRC detern.ination of no objection to your proposal pertains only to the radioactive content of the waste.
It may be that Cameco will have to comply with other federal and state regulations in order to dispose of the' calcium fluoride waste in the U.S.
If you should have any questions on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely, John T. Greeves, Acting Director Division of Low-Level Waste Management and Decommissioning Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
