SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion

    Based upon the application dated August 12, 2010 (ADAMS Package 
Accession No. ML102360313), as supplemented on February 1, 2012 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML12234A537 and ML12234A539), February 16, 2012 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML121590502), November 18, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML14353A323), December 9, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15040A602); April 
10, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15133A397); April 21, 2015 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML16063A418); March 7, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML18130A032), July 30, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18239A084), August 
16, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18229A227 and ML18229A235), the NRC has 
issued a renewed license (ADAMS Accession No. ML18222A515) to PRI. The 
renewed license authorizes PRI to possess uranium source and byproduct 
material at Smith Ranch Highland and its associated satellite 
facilities. In addition, the license authorizes PRI to operate its 
facilities as proposed in its license renewal application, as amended, 
and as prescribed in its amended license. The renewed license will 
expire on September 26, 2028.
    The licensee's application for a renewed license complies with the 
standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 
(the Act), and the NRC's rules and regulations. The NRC has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act, part 20 of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and 10 CFR part 40, and sets 
forth those findings in the renewed license. The agency afforded an 
opportunity for a hearing in the ``Notice of Opportunity for a 
Hearing'' published in the Federal Register on September 19, 2012 (77 
FR 58181). The NRC received no request for a hearing or petition for 
leave to intervene following the notice.
    The NRC staff prepared a safety evaluation report (ADAMS Accession 
No. ML18193A540) for the renewal of the license and concluded, based on 
that evaluation, that PRI will continue to meet the regulations in the 
Act, 10 CFR part 20, and 10 CFR part 40. The NRC staff also prepared an 
environmental assessment (ADAMS Accession No. ML18257A071) and finding 
of no significant impact for the renewal of this license, which were 
published in the Federal Register on September 25, 2018 (83 FR 48461). 
The NRC staff concluded that renewal of this license will not have a 
significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
