SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
The introduction of UF6 into any separation building
module (SBM) at the UUSA uranium enrichment facility is not permitted
until the NRC completes an operational readiness and management
measures verification review, to verify that management measures ensure
compliance with the performance requirements of section 70.61 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) have been implemented,
and confirms that the system, structures, and components in the SBM
were constructed in accordance with the license and would be operated
safely.
The NRC staff has conducted operational readiness reviews,
management measures verification reviews, and prepared inspection
reports documenting its findings in accordance with the requirements of
the NRC's Inspection Manual. The authorization letters associated with
the various reviews and reports are available for review as specified
in Section II of this notice. The publication of this notice satisfies
the requirements of 10 CFR 70.32(k), and Section 193(c) of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
