EnCore Energy receives Radioactive Materials License for Texas uranium project

enCore Energy (EU) announced the approval for the inclusion of the Upper Spring Creek In-Situ Recovery Uranium Project in the existing Radioactive Materials License, or RML, from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. This license allows enCore to handle radioactive materials, which includes the final product, U3O8 – uranium -. The current RML includes the Rosita Uranium Project, which has now been extended to cover the Upper Spring Creek Project’s Brown Area. The RML allows the construction of wellfields and a Satellite Ion Exchange Plant to commence, which will feed the Rosita ISR Uranium Central Processing Plant. The RML is scheduled for renewal in 2032, provided the Project’s operation remains in compliance. The RML provides safety, material handling, record keeping and reporting protocols. The construction of the Satellite IX Plant concrete pad is planned to start in 30 days. enCore now holds two RML’s in Texas; one for the Alta Mesa ISR Uranium Project and the amended RML which now includes the Upper Spring Creek’s Brown Area, Rosita and Kingsville Project areas.
