This amendment includes a new decommissioning plan for the Cimarron facility in Oklahoma, addressing the remediation of groundwater contaminated with uranium and permitting the presence of a specific contaminant, Technetium-99. The NRC made this decision after reviewing CERT's application and ensuring compliance with relevant nuclear safety and environmental standards. The amendment became effective on December 22, 2024.

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend a special nuclear materials license held by the Cimarron Environmental Response Trust for activities at the Cimarron site in Oklahoma. The amendment would allow for a new plan to clean up contaminated groundwater, including a system to treat and remove both uranium and technetium-99 from the ground. This cleanup aims to meet environmental protection standards, and according to an environmental assessment, it will not significantly impact the environment. The NRC is not preparing a detailed environmental impact statement because it found no significant impacts from this proposed action.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to change a plan to clean up a place where there used to be a factory, so the water in the ground becomes clean and safe. They checked and promise that this will not harm the environment.
