Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Proposed Fluorine Extraction Process and Depleted Uranium Deconversion Plant. By letter dated December 30, 2009, International Isotopes Fluorine Products, Inc. (IIFP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Isotopes, Inc., submitted a license application, which included an Environmental Report that proposes the construction, operation, and decommissioning of a fluoride extraction and depleted uranium deconversion facility to be located in Lea County, New Mexico (the ``proposed action'').
