1.0 INTRODUCTION

In accordance with Sections 12.1 and 12.3 of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Source License No. SUA-1341, Uranium One USA, Inc. hereby submits the 2014 Semi­Annual Effluent and Monitoring Report. This document summarizes the required operational and environmental monitoring activities conducted at the lrigaray (IR) and Christensen Ranch (CR) projects from January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016.

2.0 OPERATIONAL MONITORING

2.1 Activities Summary

During the. report period, limited production operations occurred within Mine Units 7, 8, and 10. The operational plan for the remainder of 2017 involves sustaining a small uranium recovery bleed in mine units that are in a decreased production operation mode sufficient to maintain a cone of depression towards .the wellfields. During this downtime, wellfield maintenance work will proceed. Maintenance planned includes the 5-year mechanical integrity testing (MIT) of well casings in Mine Units 8 and 10 as per regulatory requirements.

2.2 Excursion Well Status

No wells were on excursion status during the reporting period from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017.

2.3 Groundwater Volumes Injected and Recovered

During this reporting period an overall wellfield bleed was maintained at 2.97%. A total of 752,570,983 gallons were injected and 775,581,820 gallons were recovered during this period. During the reporting period all mine units averaged at least at 1.0% bleed. The data is summarized by wellfield in Table 1 and is located in Appendix A of this report.

2.4 Injection Manifold Pressures

Injection manifold pressures at the CR project are limited to 140 psi during wellfield operations and 168 psi during maintenance tasks, as per License Condition 11.1. Injection manifold pressures are continuously logged by pressure chart recorders located in every wellfield module building. The data from these logs are summarized in Table 2 of Appendix A. Twice during the reporting period the manifold pressure in module 7-3 exceeded the 140 psi limit. The first event happened the week on January 1, 2017 (148 psi) and the second was the week of January 28, 2017 (146 psi). Both events were caused when an unexpected shut down in module 7-5 happened. The spikes in the recorded manifold pressure were brief and within seconds it returned to normal.

2.5 Summary of Mechanical Integrity Testing (MIT}

During the report period, Mechanical Integrity Tests (MIT's) were completed on a total of 608 wells. The MIT's were completed using the "Two Packer Pressurized Test Method" approved in Permit No. 478. Of the total of 608 MIT's that were performed, there were sixteen (16) failures. Since the reporting period, two (2) of the wells that initially failed MIT have been repaired, retested and put back into production.

The MIT's were completed in the following area:

Location Mine Unit 8 Mine Unit 10

Number MIT's 596

12

Number Failures 15 (2 were repaired) 1

There were thirteen (13) wells in Mine Unit 8 that were grouted during the period of January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017. The thirteen (13) wells that were grouted have not been (surface) abandoned as of June 30, 2017 as agreed to by Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality/ Land Quality Division (WDEQ/LQD). The well abandonment records are maintained on site.

3.0 Restoration

3.1 Christensen Ranch:

All groundwater restoration activities, including stabilization monitoring, · ended at Christensen Ranch Mine Units 2 through 6 on May 30, 2005. The results of all wellfield restoration were compiled into a report and submitted to the WDEQ and NRC on April 8, 2008. On October 23, 2012 in NRC's technical Evaluation Report (TER) listed their basis for denying restoration completeness. Uranium One submitted responses to NRC's TER concerns regarding groundwater restoration at Christensen Mine Units 2-6 were submitted for NRC review on September 11, 2015. WDEQ was provided a copy of Uranium One responses to NRC TER for review and comment on May 26, 2016.

3.2 lrigaray;

lrigaray groundwater restoration activities and stabilization monitoring were conducted from 1990 to 2002. The 'Wellfield Restoration Report lrigaray Mine" was submitted to the WDEQ in July of 2004. The WDEQ-LQD approved restoration of lrigaray Mine Units 1-9 via correspondence dated November 1, 2005. After an independent review, lrigaray restoration approval was received from the NRC in correspondence dated_September 20, 2006. The Final Decommissioning Report for lrigaray Mine Units 1-9 was submitted to NRC for review and approval on August 7, 2015. Uranium One was notified by NRC that ORAU would be conducted the review of this document and would be conducting confirmatory sampling during the July 2016 NRC inspection.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

4.1 Regional Ranch Wells

Willow Creek Project SUA-1341

Page 7: Willow Creek Project - Semi-Annual Effluent and ... · survey report will be included in the 2nd half 2017 semi-annual effluent report which will be submitted in February 2018. Please

Five stock watering and domestic water wells are located within two kilometers of Christensen Ranch mining area, and one is located near lrigaray. Routine quarterly groundwater samples were collected from these six regional ranch wells. The samples were analyzed for Uranium, Thorium-230, Radium-226, Lead-210 and Polonium-210 for both suspended and dissolved parameters. All parameters are in line with historical data presented in Table 5.23 of the SUA-1341 License Renewal Application. Sampling was consistent with the requirements of License Condition 11.3 and Section 5.8 of the License Renewal Application. This data is summarized in Table 3 of Appendix A.

4.2 Surface Water Monitoring

During the reporting period Surface Water samples were collected across the Willow Creek Project. Willow Creek is the only source of surface water present within and adjacent to the permit boundaries of both the IR and CR projects. Willow Creek is an ephemeral stream which was sampled on a quarterly basis. Three sample locations are designated at both project sites; upstream, downstream and within the permit boundary. The Powder River is also sampled annually at the Brubaker Ranch, which is approximately 4.5 miles downstream from its confluence with Willow Creek. Sample location IR-9 is located where Willow Creek meets up with the Powder River.

During the sampling period all regional wells that are sampled quarterly were below the 10 CFR Appendix B Table 2 Effluent Concentrations. Radionuclide levels for the 1s1 half of 2016 are consistent with historical values presented in Table 5.25 of the SUA-1341 License Renewal Application. Comparison of suspended radionuclide results is limited to data that has been collected since 2012 so historical data for these parameters are limited.

The surface water sampling for the first half 2017 is summarized in Table 4 of Appendix A

4.3 Summary of Spills

There was one reportable spill during the reporting period. Emails, written notifications, and summary reports were submitted to the NRC and WDEQ regarding these events and will not be duplicated in this report.

4.4 Soil Sampling

Annual soil sampling at the Willow Creek environmental locations occurred during the previous reporting period. The samples were taken from 5 locations at the lrigaray Project and 4 locations from the Christensen Project. Sampling locations coincide with air particulate stations and radon stations. The soil was analyzed for uranium, radium-226, lead-210, and thorium. This data is summarized in Table 5 located in Appendix A of this report.

4.5 Vegetation Sampling

Page 8: Willow Creek Project - Semi-Annual Effluent and ... · survey report will be included in the 2nd half 2017 semi-annual effluent report which will be submitted in February 2018. Please

Annual vegetation sampling at the Willow Creek environmental locations occurred during June 9, 2017. Analytical results for the uranium values at sample location IR-3 are higher than historic values and are currently being evaluated and potentially re-sampled. Revised analytical results will be reported as part of the next semi-annual effluent report. Vegetation analytical results received to date are shown in Table SA of Appendix A. The samples were taken from 5 locations· at the lrigaray project and 4 locations at the Christensen Project. Comparing the vegetation results to historical averages as are presented in Table 5.15 of the SUA 1341 License Renewal Application indicate no upward trends were noted and all samples were within natural variances of the historical averages.

5.0 AIR MONITORING

5.1 Dryer Stack Emissions

The semi-annual Dryer Stack Emission testing was performed on May 17, 2017 by Western Environmental Services and Testing Services The sample collected in May 2017 during drying of Willow Creek materials shows a release rate of 0.020 lb/hr, which is in compliance with the WDEQ Air Quality Permit OP254 limit of 0.30 lb/hr. A summary of the total emissions is summarized in Table 7 of Appendix A.

Uranium One has included the quantities from stack emissions released for the reporting period for Th-230, Pb-210, Ra-226, and U-nat. These values are based on the operating times of the dryer and the stack testing performed by an outside entity.

5.2 Environmental Airborne Radionuclides

During dryer operations, continuous airborne radionuclide sampling is required at the five specified environmental air sampling locations at the IR project. The yellowcake dryer was in operation for approximately 232 hours during the second quarter of 2016. The stations used to monitor airborne radionuclides and are located as follows:

• IR-1 Downwind of Restricted Area • IR-3 Upwind of Restricted Area • IR-5 is located at Brubaker Ranch • IR-6 is the background location • IR-13 is the employee house trailer and is considered the maximally exposed

individual.

Air Particulate samples are collected weekly and then composited quarterly for analysis by an outside laboratory. The data for the first half 2017 are summarized in Table 8 of Appendix A.

5.3 Environmental Radon Monitoring

Radon gas is monitored continuously at the eight environmental air locations surrounding the lrigaray Project, and twelve locations surrounding the Christensen Ranch Project. Passive outdoor radon detectors are exchanged quarterly and sent to Landauer for analysis. The data is shown in Table 6 of Appendix A. Data is given as raw

data without subtracting the background location. Comparing the data to historical data presented in 5.11 and 5.12 of the SUA 1341 License Renewal Application the data is all below or within historical values.

Uranium One has received NRC approval of methodologies for quantifying radon release before implementation as per license condition 11.3 and these values will be reported for the 2nd half of 2017 semi-annual effluent report.

5.4 Environmental Gamma Radiation Monitoring

Passive gamma radiation is monitored continuously at six environmental air locations surrounding the lrigaray Project and at five locations surrounding the Christensen Ranch Project. Dosimeters are exchanged and analyzed quarterly by the Landauer Dosimetry Services, a NVLP accredited company. The gamma data is summarized in Appendix A Table 9. The data is consistent with the values presented in Tables 5.19 and 5.20 of the SUA 1341.

5.5 Effluent Released from Willow Creek Activities

As part of the 10 CFR 40.65 effluent monitoring requirements the licensee must specify the quantity of each of the principle radionuclides released to unrestricted areas in liquid and in gaseous effluents during the previous six months. Additionally, Uranium One is required under License Condition 11.3 to quantify the principal radionuclides from all point and diffuse sources. Under this license condition the method for estimating the quantity of radionuclides emitted from a facility needs to be verified by NRC before implementation. Uranium One received verification by the NRC for these estimations in June 2017 and will include this information for the second half 2017 semi-annual effluent report under this section.

6.0 PUBLIC DOSE

1 O CFR 20.1301 requires that each NRC licensee conduct their operations in a manner that the total effective dose equivalent {TEDE) to members of the public does not exceed 100 mrem in a year, and that the dose from external sources in any unrestricted area does not exceed 2 mrem in any hour.

Additionally, 10CFR 20.1302 require licensees to show compliance to these dose limits by:

1. Demonstrating by measurement or calculation that the total effective dose equivalent to the individual likely to receive the highest dose from the licensed operation does not exceed the annual dose limit or;

2. Demonstrate

August 2017

A. The annual average concentration of radioactive material released in gaseous and liquid effluent at the boundary of the unrestricted area do not exceed the values specified in table 2 of appendix B

5 2017 Semi-Annual Effluent And Monitoring Report

Willow Creek Project SUA-1341

Page 10: Willow Creek Project - Semi-Annual Effluent and ... · survey report will be included in the 2nd half 2017 semi-annual effluent report which will be submitted in February 2018. Please

8. If an individual were continuously present in an unrestricted. area, the dose from the external sources would not exceed 0.002 rem (0.02 mSv) in an hour and 0.05 rem (0.5 mSv) in a year.

Uranium One will demonstrate compliance to the public dose requirements by performing a dose assessment for the individual predicted to be the maximally exposed individual on an annual basis. Uranium One anticipates that the highest exposed individual would be operators staying in the man camps off shift. Operators working at Uranium One typically work four shifts of 12 hours and on four shifts off. This equates to a conservative three nights per week spent in workforce housing. For the year this equates to a total of 1872 hours spent in workforce housing.

Dose to individuals at the workforce housing are monitored through the use of Radtrak Track­Etch detectors, OSL environmental dosimeters, and airborne particulate sampling. The concentration is equated to dose using the following equation.

Where

D = DCF I CiFiTi i

D = annual dose (mrem/yr); DCF =dose conversion factor Ci = annual average concentration at the receptor location i; Fi = equilibrium factors for receptor location I used for radon; and Ti = occupancy time factor (fraction of year) for receptor location i

Dose conversion factors are established by taking effluent concentration limits in 1 O CFR 20 Appendix 8, Table 2, and using the annual dose limit of 1 OOmrem/yr. Taking the annual dose limit and dividing by the effluent concentration limit will provide the dose conversion factor. Dose conversion factors for radon will be calculated using the daughters present with the 100% equilibrium.

External gamma radiation will be determined through the use of Landauer environmental dosimeters. A dosimeter will be placed at each maximally exposed individual location. Dose will be assigned to each receptor.

Public Dose is calculated on an annual basis and will be included in the semi-annual effluent report submitted in February 2018.

7.0 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EVAULATIONS

Per License Condition 9.4E Uranium One shall furnish, in an annual report to the NRC, a description of such changes, tests, or experiments, including a summary of the evaluations made by the safety and environmental evaluation panel (SERP). Uranium One completed one (1) SERP during the reporting period from January through June 2016. A summary of the SERPs findings for each evaluation can be found in Table 1 O of Appendix A.

8.0 Other

8.1 ALARA REVIEW

As required by License condition 12.3 the licensee shall submit the results of the annual review of the radiation protection program content and implementation performed in accordance with 10CFR20.1101(c). A copy of the 2016 ALARA audit is included in Appendix B of this semi-annual effluent.

8.2 Land Use Survey

The primary use of surrounding lands at both IR and CR project continues to be rural sheep and cattle ranching. Livestock actively graze these lands, but fencing prevents access to the evaporation ponds, plant sites, and wellfields.

The secondary use of surrounding lands continues to be petroleum production from wells dispersed throughout the region. The closest oil well at the CR project is located approximately one third of a mile west of the CR plant. The closest oil wells at the IR site are located approximately one half mile east of proposed MU 9 wellfield. Oil activities at and around the Willow Creek project for the first half of 2017 have been significantly reduced due to continued depressed oil prices.

Over the past several years (2001-2015) some additional interest has developed in the immediate areas of the IR and CR projects in the development of coal bed methane (CBM) gas. Several CBM wells are located within a half mile of Uranium facilities.

The nearest residence to the IR site is 4 miles to the north (the Brubaker Ranch) and the nearest residence to CR is the John Christensen Ranch located 3 miles southeast of the CR plant site. Both are ranch hou~ing with a population of six or less.

Land use surveys are conducted on an annual basis to verify the use of surrounding lands is consistent with previous assessments. These assessments are used in determining survey locations and which individuals may be potentially affected by Uranium One's activities. The Land Use Report will be included as part of the semi­annual report submitted to NRC in February 2018.
