This book was released on 1995 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1980 to 1993, the domestic production of uranium declined from almost 44 million pounds U3O8 to about 3 million pounds. This retrenchment of the U.S. uranium industry resulted in the permanent closing of many uranium-producing facilities. Current low uranium prices, excess world supply, and low expectations for future uranium demand indicate that it is unlikely existing plants will be reopened. Because of this situation, these facilities eventually will have to be decommissioned. The Uranium Mill Tailings and Radiation Control Act of 1978 (UMTRCA) vests the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with overall responsibility for establishing environmental standards for decommissioning of uranium production facilities. UMTRCA also gave the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) the responsibility for licensing and regulating uranium production and related activities, including decommissioning. Because there are many issues associated with decommissioning-environmental, political, and financial-this report will concentrate on the answers to three questions: (1) What is required? (2) How is the process implemented? (3) What are the costs? Regulatory control is exercised principally through the NRC licensing process. Before receiving a license to construct and operate an uranium producing facility, the applicant is required to present a decommissioning plan to the NRC. Once the plan is approved, the licensee must post a surety to guarantee that funds will be available to execute the plan and reclaim the site. This report by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) represents the most comprehensive study on this topic by analyzing data on 33 (out of 43) uranium production facilities located in Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Washington.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As nuclear power plants reach the end of their life cycle and are closed, the uranium mining and milling facilities that have fed them will have to be decommissioned. This report provides information to governments to help plan and implement the decommissioning and closeout of such facilities along with the associated tailings impoundments, debris piles, leach fields, and unprocessed ore stockpiles. The goal is to enable a site to meet the radiological criteria either for unrestricted use or for long-term closeout under institutional control. Includes a glossary without pronunciation. No index.
