Redacted Version for Public Release

Preface

This report was prepared for Nuclear Information and Resource Service / Public 
Citizen, interveners in the LES case. The Nuclear regulatory Commission has 
imposed a requirement of completing the report in an unreasonably short period 
of time. The announcement that such a report would be required was made on 
20 October 2004 and the deadline for filing is 24 November 2004. This report 
was prepared in the absence of full disclosure by LES of the state of information 
and negotiations about the expected costs of DU deconversion. The NRC has failed
to provide the basis for its dose calculations of the impacts of DU disposal. Our 
analysis indicates that some of these dose calculations are technically incredible. 
They cannot be accepted as a reasonable basis for a licensing proceeding without 
full disclosure of the methods, assumptions,models, and all details of the actual 
implementation of the models used to produce them.

In addition, the NRC’s Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System 
(ADAMS) has been unavailable since 25 October 2004 due to an ongoing security 
review which has prevented us from gaining access to other potentially important 
information. These factors have hampered the production of this report. IEER 
reserves the right to update and revise this report when LES makes more complete 
information available and the NRC publishes the requisite data and methodology 
for its dose calculations and restores the ADAMS database.
