License review could continue uranium operations
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is reviewing an application to renew Source and Byproduct Materials License Number SUA-1534, which would let Crow Butte Resources keep operating the existing Crow Butte in-situ uranium recovery facility and construct and operate the Marsland Expansion Area. This action affects local communities and the environment because it would allow continued and expanded uranium recovery activities at the site.
Possible local jobs and energy benefits
The application notes potential jobs and energy benefits from continued operation of the Crow Butte Project and from building the Marsland Expansion Area under License SUA-1534. If approved, the project could create local employment opportunities and contribute to energy-related output in the area.
