Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc.; Export License Renewal Application

Official abstract: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering approval of an export application, received on August 21, 2026, from Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (Perma-Fix). In the application, Perma-Fix seeks to amend and renew existing license, XW027/02, authorizing the export of radioactive waste to Germany. The NRC is providing notice of the opportunity to comment, request a hearing, and petition for leave to intervene on Perma-Fix's application. This action will renew the existing export license for an additional 5 years to expire on September 1, 2031, and amend the existing export license to decrease the total volume of waste from 800,000 kilograms (kg) to 200,000 kg, decrease the maximum activity of all shipments from 8.5 Terabecquerels (TBq) to 2.4 TBq, and add two radionuclides to the license.
