Notice of Amendment Consideration; US Ecology

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering a request to amend License No. 16-19204-01. This license is issued to US Ecology, Incorporated (US Ecology) for the disposal of wastes containing special nuclear material (SNM) in the low-level radioactive waste (LLW) disposal facility, located near Richland, Washington. NRC licenses this facility under 10 CFR part 70. The amendment would reduce the SNM possession limit of the license, and NRC would subsequently transfer the license to the State of Washington. Washington Department of Health (WADOH) already regulates disposal of source and byproduct material at the Richland facility.
