NRC Issues License to AUC LLC for

Reno Creek Uranium Recovery Facility in Wyoming

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued an operating license to AUC LLC for the Reno Creek uranium recovery facility in Campbell County, Wyo. AUC submitted the application in October 2012 for the in situ recovery facility, which uses a solution to extract uranium from underground ore, then pumps it to the surface for further processing.

The NRC’s review of the application included an environmental review published in December 2016 as a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that looked at site-specific impacts and referenced the agency’s Generic EIS for in situ recovery facilities. The NRC also published a Safety Evaluation Report, which concluded the proposed facility can, in a safe manner, operate, manage radiological and chemical hazards, protect groundwater, and eventually cleanup and decommission.

NRC Assigns New Senior Resident Inspector to Susquehanna Nuclear Power Plant

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has selected Laura Micewski as the agency’s new Senior Resident Inspector at the Susquehanna nuclear power plant, in Salem Township (Luzerne County), Pa., effective Feb. 6. Micewski joins NRC Resident Inspector Travis Daun at the twin-reactor site, which is operated by Talen Energy.

“Laura Micewski is a highly trained and talented inspector who is committed to safety and the NRC’s mission of protecting people and the environment. In this new assignment, she will play
a vital role in assuring that the Susquehanna nuclear power plant continues to meet the high standards set by the agency,” said NRC Region I Administrator Dan Dorman.

Most recently, Micewski served as a reactor operations engineer in the NRC’s Office of New Reactors. She joined the NRC in its regional office in Texas as a project engineer in 2009, after 14 years as a Naval Surface Warfare Officer. She holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the U.S. Naval Academy and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School.

Each U.S. commercial nuclear plant site has at least two NRC resident inspectors. They serve as the agency’s eyes and ears at the facility, conducting inspections, monitoring significant work activities, and interacting with plant workers and the public.


The Susquehanna resident inspectors can be reached at 570-542-2134.
