Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation is requesting a license amendment from the NRC to allow the possession and storage of uranium and thorium materials for resale, rather than for production. The materials, specifically tantalum minerals, will be stored in existing monitored warehouses and are expected to be sold within two years, with no impact on financial assurance requirements. The letter includes a Material Safety Data Sheet and requests expedited review due to the urgency of the business opportunity.

Dear Mr. Weber:

Please consider this letter a license amendment request for the Shieldalloy Metallurgical
Corporation facility in Newfield New Jersey operating under NRC license number SMB-743.

Currently the license states under section 9 that the authorized use for uranium and
thorium is “For possession and storage incident to the processing of raw materials to produce
ferrocolumbium and columbium nickel alloys.?’

SMC requests that the license be amended to allow for the possession and storage of
materials containing uranium and thorium when these materials would not be used for production
at the site, but would be sold to other licensees as a tradeable commodity. SMC agrees that the
amount of uranium and thorium contained in these materials would be added to the current
inventory of uranium and thorium at the site until they were sold and removed from the site. All
other conditions of the license, as it has been amended from time to time, including the maximum
possession amount of uranium and thorium permitted under the amended license would remain
unchanged

The material under consideration is tantalum minerals which will be stored in one of the
currently restricted area warehouses on the site. These warehouses have been used for the storage
of pyrochlore and are included in the areas covered by monitoring as part of SMC’s radiation
protection program

SMC believes that given the current market conditions and the cost of this material, the
tantalum minerals will be sold within a two year period.

The temporary presence of these materials on the SMC site will not have an impact on the
required financial assurance component of the license. The reason for this lack of impact is these
materials are a saleable commodity and would not need to be disposed of as a waste, so no
financial assurance to cover disposal is necessary.

Attached is a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet for this material as well as the
tabulated results of some chemical analyses. You will note that for any one lot, the maximum
concentration of uranium is 0.322% with an average of all lots of 0.046%,and the maximum

PDR ADOCK 04007102
C PDR
conceatration of thorium is 0 158% with an average of all lots of 0 039% These concentrations
are not very different from those found in the pyrochlore raw material used at the facility

Due to the pressing nature of this business opportunity, SMC requests an expedited
review of this amendment request. If you have any questions or need additional information,
please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours,

have been reported from occupational exposure. Rats repeatedly exposed tc
concentrations of 10-328 million particles/ft3 for as long as 13 mon:,?s
showed small focal areas of emphysema which were attributed tc large
deposits of dust. Rats exposed to concentrations of 0 , i o , 50, and
250 mg/m3 for 6 hours/day, 5 days/week for 2 years showed no abnormal
clinical signs, body weight changes, or excess mortality in any exposed
group. There were however dose-dependent increases in the incidence of
pneumonia, tracheitis and rhinitis with squamous metaplasia in the
anterior nasal cavity. At 10 mg/m3, the pulmonary responss satisfied the
criteria for a nuisance dust. Bronchioalveolar adenomas and cystlc
keratinizing squamous cell carcinomas occurred only at the 250 mg/m3
level, twenty-five times the threshold limit value. These lung tumors
were different from common human lung cancers in terms of tumor type,
location, and tumorigenesis, and were devoid of tumor metastasis.
STANNIC OXIDE:
May cause chest pain, dyspnea, rales, and leukocytosis. Repeated exposure
may cause stannosis, a benign pneumoconiosis, without symptoms of
interference of pulmonary function. See information on inorganic tin

CHRONIC EXPOSURE- No data available.
METAL. FiTME FEVER:
A X T 2 EXPOSURE- Metal fume fever, an influenza-like illness, may occur
due to the inhalation of freshly formed metal oxide particles sized
below 1.5 rr,icrons and usually between 0.02-0.05 microns. Symptoms may be
ae;ayea 4-i2 hours and begin with a sudden onset of tnirst, and a sweet,
metallic or foul taste in the mouth. Other symptoms may include upper
respiratory tract irritation accompanied by coughing and a dryness of the
mucous membranes, lassitude and a generalized feeling of malaise. Fever,
chiLls, muscular pain, mild to severe headache, nausea, occasional
vomiting, exaggerated mental activity, profuse sweating, excessive
crination, diarrhea and prostration may also occur. Tolerance to fumes
develops rapidly, but is quickly lost. All symptoms usually subside
within 24-36 hours.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE- There is no form of chronic metal fume fever, however,
repeated bouts with symptoms as described above are quite common.
Resistance t:o the condition develops after a few days Of exposure, but
is quickly lost in 1 or 2 days.
