SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued for public
comment a draft guide in the agency's Regulatory Guide Series. This
series has been developed to describe and make available to the public
such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for
implementing specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques that
the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents,
and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits
and licenses.
The draft regulatory guide (DG), entitled, ``Standard Format and
Content of License Applications for Conventional Uranium Mills,'' is
temporarily identified by its task number, DG-3024, which should be
mentioned in all related correspondence. This guide describes a method
that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for use in preparing
license applications for the receipt, possession, and use of source and
byproduct material for conventional uranium milling. Conventional
uranium milling is uranium recovery by crushing uranium ore and
subjecting it to extraction processes in a mill facility to concentrate
the uranium into a uranium-oxygen compound called yellowcake. This
regulatory guide describes an approach that is acceptable to the NRC
staff for complying with the agency's regulations in Title 10, Part 40,
(Domestic Licensing of Source Material,'' of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR Part 40).
