NRC Accepts Disa License Application for Review
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted for detailed technical review an application submitted by Disa Technologies, Inc. The application requests a license to use High- Pressure Slurry Ablation technology to remediate abandoned uranium mine waste at inactive mine sites.
On April 11, the NRC staff issued an acceptance review letter to Disa with a schedule for the detailed technical review. The acceptance review letter is available for public viewing on the NRC website.
High-Pressure Slurry Ablation is a mechanical process that separates minerals in mine waste into different parts. One part contains the uranium that can be recovered or disposed. The other part could be clean and left onsite.
