2 INJECTION RATES, RECOVERY RATES, AND INJECTION TRUNK-LINEPRESSURES FOR EACH SATELLITE FACILITY

Tables 1 A through 1 C of Attachment A contain rate and pressure data at the operatingsatellite facilities for the period of the report.

2.1 Satellite No. 1

Satellite No. 1 did not operate during the report period, as restoration activities in the Aand B Wellfield are complete. An alternate concentration limit (ACL) license amendmentfor the completion of restoration of Mine Unit B was submitted May 22, 2013. OnDecember 3, 2013, a public meeting was held to discuss NRC staff's acceptance review ofCameco Resources' (Cameco's) ACL request for Mine Unit B. Based on the NRCcomments Cameco has been gathering additional quarterly ground water samples since thefirst quarter of 2014, reviewing historical activities for the mine unit, and working on otherdeficiencies identified by the NRC. Cameco met with the NRC, September 28, 2015 todiscuss outstanding items in the ACL license renewal application. NRC raised someadditional questions during the meeting that Cameco is currently investigating. There areno injection or recovery rates for the report period.

2.2 Satellites and Central Processing Plant

The operating information for Satellite No. 2, Satellite No. 3, Satellite SR-i, Satellite SR-2, and the Central Processing Plant (CPP) are contained in Tables lA, lB, and 1C. Theinjection rates listed are the total recovery rates minus the purge flow bleed. The bleedfrom Satellites No. 2 and No. 3 is treated for uranium, radium and selenium removal andpumped to Purge Storage Reservoir #2 (PSR-2) prior to land application at the SatelliteNo. 2 Land Application Facility (Irrigator #2). Waste water brine from the reverse osmosis(RO) system at Satellite No. 2 is disposed by either deep well injection through a permittedwaste disposal well, or treated and pumped to PSR-2 for further land application at Irrigator#2. Bleed from Satellites SR-i and SR-2, and the CPP is disposed by deep well injectionthrough permitted waste disposal wells. Injection flow from Satellite No. 2 was off

2

throughout the year due to the conjoining weilfields being in restoration. Flow from theCPP was off from October through December due to a work over being performed at DeepDisposal Well #2.

2.3 North Butte Satellite Facility

The operational data for the North Butte Satellite is contained in Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C.The injection rates represent the total recovery rates minus the purge flow bleed. The bleedfrom the satellite is pumped to the deep disposal well for disposal or stored in the storagepond prior to deep well injection.

3 RESULTS OF EFFLUENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORINGINCLUDING WATER QUALITY ANALYSES AND MONITORING REQUIREDBY THE WDEQ PERMIT FOR THE OPERATING IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

3.1 Stack Emission Surveys

All yellowcake processing activities (elution, drying and packaging) were conducted at theSmith Ranch CPP. The dryers at the CPP are zero emission vacuum dryers and do notrequire stack testing.

The Central Processing Facility (CPF) at the Highland Uranium Project has beenrefurbished with a zero emission vacuum dryer, which will not require stack testing, and ison stand-by status.

3.2 Air Particulate, Radon, and Gamma Radiation Monitoring

3.2.1 Smith Ranch-Highland

Smith Ranch - Highland (SRH) maintains an air monitoring program at six locations onand around the licensed area. The air monitoring stations are used to monitor airparticulates, radon gas, and gamma radiation. Due to the completion of constructionactivities of the Highland CPF, monitoring at air stations AS-4 and AS-5 was discontinuedat the end of 2014 and will resume monitoring when the Highland CPF becomesoperational. One additional station (AS-6) will be used to monitor conditions downwindof the Reynolds Ranch Satellite Facility once the facility is constructed and becomesoperational.

The air stations are located as follows:

* Air Station No. 1 (AS-i; Dave's Water Well): This station monitors backgroundconditions, upwind of both the Smith Ranch and HUP wellfields andyellowcake processing facilities.

3

* Air Station No. 2 (AS-2; Smith Ranch Restricted Area): This station monitorsconditions downwind of the Smith Ranch CPP Restricted Area Boundary.

* Air Station No. 3 (AS-3; Vollman Ranch): This station monitors the nearestdownwind resident to the Smith Ranch CPP Restricted Area.

* Air Station No. 4 (AS-4; HUP Restricted Area): This station monitorsconditions downwind of the HUP CPF Restricted Area Boundary.

* Air Station No. 5 (AS-5; Fowler Ranch): This station monitors the nearestdownwind resident to the HUP CPF Restricted Area.

*Air Station No. 6 (AS-6; Reynolds Ranch Satellite Area): This station willmonitor conditions downwind of the Reynolds Ranch Satellite Facility once thefacility is constructed and becomes operational.

Monitoring at station AS-6 was not conducted during the report period since the ReynoldsRanch Satellite Facility has not been constructed. Monitoring of conditions at AS-6 willcommence during construction of the facility and before it becomes operational.

Table 2 shows the air particulate and radon data collected at stations AS-i through AS-5during the report period. Review of data collected during the report period shows that theconcentrations of all parameters are significantly less than the 10 CFR 20, Appendix B,Effluent Concentration Limits. Non-detect at the reporting limit (ND) sample results arelabeled as such in Table 2.

Table 3 shows the gamma radiation data collected at stations AS-i through AS-5 duringthe report period. As stated previously monitoring at air stations AS-4 and AS-S wasdiscontinued at the end of 2014 and will resume monitoring when the Highland CPFbecomes operational. Review of data collected during the report period shows that gammaradiation levels were within the range of previously reported values and comparable toupwind background values at station AS-i.

3.2.2 NB Satellite Facility

North Butte maintains an Air Monitoring Station program at six various locations on andaround the licensed area. The air monitoring stations are used to monitor air particulates,radon gas, and gamma radiation. Two additional gamma and radon gas environmentalstations are included in the license area.

The air stations, gamma, and radon gas monitoring stations are located as follows:

* Air Station NB8 (Pfister Ranch): This station monitors the nearest publicresidence to North Butte Satellite Area.

4

* Air Station NB9 (West Air Station): This station monitors backgroundconditions, upwind from the North Butte Satellite Area.

*Air Station NBll1 (North Butte): This station monitors the north side of theNorth Butte Licensed Area.

* Air Station NB12 (North East Air Station): This station monitors downwindconditions from North Butte Satellite and Well Fields.

oAir Station NB 13 (Anadarko Rd): This station monitors the south side of theNorth Butte Licensed Area.

* Air Station Sat Pad (Satellite pad next to man camp): This station monitors theexposure to the off-shift operations staff that remain on site during off shifthours.

* Environmental Station (Fence line near Frac Tanks): This station monitorsradon gas and gamma radiation only.

* Environmental station (Fence line on Christensen Rd): This station monitorsradon gas and gamma radiation only.

Table 2 shows the air particulate and radon data collected at air stations NB 8, NB9, NB 11,NB 12, NB 13 and Satellite Pad. In addition to the six air stations there are two additionalenvironmental stations with radon data only. Review of data collected during the reportperiod shows that the concentrations of all parameters are significantly less than the 10CFR 20, Appendix B, Effluent Concentration Limits. Non-detect at the reporting limit(ND) sample results are labeled as such in Table 2.

Table 3 shows the gamma radiation data collected at the six air stations and the twoenvironmental stations for the report period. Review of data collection during the reportperiod shows that gamma radiation levels were comparable to upwind background valuesat station NB9 and the control badge. Note that NB 13, Anedarko Road, shows data as"Averaged". When collecting quarterly environmental TLD's it was noted that this TLDwas missing and could not be found. Four previous quarters of data was used for theaverage.

3.3 Water Sampling Data

3.3.1 SRH Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring Stations

During the report period, monitoring was completed at 22 water wells and 10 stock pondsthroughout the permit area. Water samples are collected from the water wells and stock

5

ponds on a quarterly basis for analysis of uranium and radium-226. Table 4 provides theanalytical data for samples collected during the report period. A review of data collectedduring the report period shows that 13 water wells (GW-5, GW-6, GW-8, GW-9, GW-l0,GW-ll, GW-12, GW-13, GW-16, GW-21, GW-31, GW-32 and GW-33) did not runduring the report period and one (1) surface water stock pond, SW- 10, did not contain waterand was unable to be sampled. A review of data collected from the available groundwaterand surface water sampling sites shows that the concentrations of uranium and radium-226are well below the 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Effluent Concentration Limits of 3.0E-07jiCi/mL and 6.0E-08 1iCi/mL, respectively. As shown in Table 4, the acronyms of "ND"denotes levels as "Non-Detected at the Reporting Limit" and "NA" denotes levels as "NotApplicable".

3.3.2 NB Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring Stations

During the report period, monitoring was completed at two (2) impoundments and eight(8) surface water sites. Water samples are collected from water wells (within 1 km fromactive mine unit), impoundments, and surface water sites, when adequate water exists topermit sampling, on a quarterly basis for analysis of uranium and radium-226 in accordancewith NRC license SUA 1548. Currently there are no operating water wells, domestic orstock, within one (1) kilometer (kin) of any active mine unit. Table 4 provides theanalytical data for samples that were collected during the report period. A review of Table4 shows that during the third and fourth quarter of the report period all eight (8) surfacewater sites were dry, and there was no water available for sampling. Although the licensedarea received rain and snow during the report period, there was not sufficient water flowto permit sampling.

3.4 SRH Wastewater Land Application Facilities Monitoring

3.4.1 Soil and Vegetation Sampling

For Satellite No. 1 and Satellite No. 2 Wastewater Land Application Facilities, soil andvegetation sampling of the irrigation areas is conducted in late summer of each year. Thesoil and vegetation data are collected to monitor and evaluate any adverse effects to theirrigation areas. The 2015 soil and vegetation sampling at the irrigation areas wereperformed in August. The soil is sampled at 14 sites at Irrigator No.1 and 16 sites atIrrigator No. 2 at depth of 0-6 inches and 6-12 inches. One background sample iscompleted at each Irrigator outside of the irrigated area, to ensure the samples are notinfluenced by the irrigator fluids.

Soil data from the Satellite No. 1 and Satellite No. 2 Wastewater Land ApplicationFacilities are provided in Tables 5 and 6, respectively. Comparison of data from theprevious report period shows a slight decrease in the concentrations of uranium and radiumfrom both Satellite No. 1 and Satellite No.2 areas.

6

Vegetation data from the Satellite No. 1 and Satellite No. 2 Wastewater Land ApplicationFacilities are provided in Tables 7A and 7B, respectively. Comparison of data from theprevious report period shows uranium at slightly lower levels at Satellite No. 1 landapplication facility and slightly higher levels at Satellite No. 2 facility. Radium-226concentrations at Satellite No. 1 facility show negligible change while radium-226concentrations at Satellite No. 2 reflect lower levels from the previous report period.

3.4.2 Irrigation Fluid

Cameco monitors the treated irrigation fluid that is disposed of at both irrigation facilitiesper the approved license application. Grab samples are collected at the discharge of PSR-2 during each month of operation and analyzed for various parameters. Irrigator No. 1 didnot operate during the report period.

Irrigation fluid data collected at Irrigator No. 2 is provided in Table 8. A review of the dataindicates that the concentrations of uranium in the monthly grab samples were slightlyhigher than the 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Effluent Concentration Limit of 3.OE-07 jiCi/ml.The concentrations of radium-226 were below the 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, EffluentConcentration Limit of 6.0E-08 jtCi/ml. Although bicarbonate, sulfate, chloride, TDS andpH sample results are not available for July 2015, NRC required sample constituents werecompleted.

3.4.3 Radium Treatment Systems

Cameco collects grab samples each month to ensure that the radium-226 treatment systemsare adequately treating wastewater from Satellites No. 2 and No. 3 prior to discharge intoPSR-2. No samples were collected from the Satellite No. 1 radium treatment system sinceSatellite No. 1 did not operate during the report period. The monthly radium-226 grabsamples for Satellite No. 2 and No. 3 are collected at the discharge point of the seleniumtreatment plant. Review of the monitoring data provided in Table 9 shows that radium-226 concentrations were less than the 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Effluent ConcentrationLimit of 6.00E-8 ptCi/ml.

3.4.4 Soil Water Samples

In accordance with approved license application, Cameco collects soil water samples at theirrigation areas in June of each year and analyzes them for various parameters. Adiscussion of soil water monitoring for 2015 was presented in the previous Semi-AnnualEffluent and Environmental Monitoring Report.

3.4.5 Satellite No. 1 Purge Storage Reservoir Monitor Well

A shallow monitor well, located southwest of the Satellite No. 1 Purge Storage Reservoir(PSR- 1) is monitored at least weekly for potential seepage from the reservoir. There wasno evidence of seepage during the report period. PSR-1 was dry for the entire period and

it is not anticipated that water will be diverted to PSR-1 in the near future.In a letter dated September 29, 2014, titled Discontinuation of Monitoring Plan, PurgeStorage Reservoir No. 1 (PSR-1) Smith Ranch - Highland Uranium Project, Permit 633,Cameco Resources, Cameco, submitted a request to discontinue the monitoring plan atPSR-1 as Cameco had fulfilled all requirements of Permit 633. On November 11, 2015Cameco received concurrence from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality-Land Quality Division (WDEQ-LQD) to discontinue the monitoring program at PSR- 1.

3.4.6 Satellite No. 2 Purge Storage Reservoir Shallow Wells

Shallow Wells No. 1 and No. 2 are located adjacent to the south and east sides of thereservoir, respectively. Water levels are measured on a quarterly basis, and ground watersamples are required on a semi-annual basis from the two shallow monitoring wells locatedadjacent to PSR-2. Monitoring of the wells was conducted in September and October 2015.Water levels were taken September 30, 2015 while sampling and water levels wereconducted October 14, 2015. Table 10 contains the data for samples and water levelscollected during the report period.

4 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATIONS

All safety and environmental evaluations made by the Safety and Environmental ReviewPanel (SERP) and resulting changed pages to the Operations Plan and Reclamation Plan ofthe approved license must be submitted on an annual basis. During the period January 1through December 31, 2015 Cameco completed the following safety and environmentalevaluations.

1. SERP 01/15-01: CPP Waste Water Reduction (Approved 2/10/2015)The SERP approved the recirculation of water from the dryer condensate to theelution circuit. The recirculation of this water will reduce the need for make-upwater as well as reduce waste water output. The approval resulted in a change toSection 4.3 wording. The page changes to the License Application are includedin Appendix B.

2. SERP 02/15-02: NRC Application Organizational Changes & Chapter 9Revisions (Approved 2/10/2015)The SERP approved changes to the organizational structure as required by SourceMaterials License SUA-1 548. The organization structure was updated inaccordance with changes which have occurred due to personnel leaving andlorreassignment. The approval resulted in changes to Section 9.2 and Figure 9-1 ofthe NRC Operations Plan. A copy of the page changes are included in AppendixB.

3. SERP 5/15-05: Mine Unit 4. HH 4-6 Bio-Stimulation (Approved 5/13/20 15)The SERP approved the second phase of a research project involving bio-stimulation to promote growth of naturally occurring bacteria beneficial to

8

restoration. The results from the test will be analyzed and used to improverestoration efficiency. As no Safety, Health, or Environmental issues notpreviously evaluated are expected, the SERP approved the bio-stimulation of twofive-spot patterns in Header House 4-6.

4. SERP 8/15-07: SR 1 Reverse Osmosis (RO) Addition (Approved 8/5/2015)The SERP approved an additional Reverse Osmosis (RO) system at satellite SR 1for the bicarbonate system. The return of process water from the RO system asmake-up water will reduce waste disposal requirements and ultimately aidrestoration. The approval resulted in a change to the SR 1 facility layout, figure3-10, and is included in Appendix B.

5. SERP 8/15-08: Mine Unit 7 Cross-Hole Test (Approved 8/26/20 15)The SERP approved a follow up natural attenuation research project in Mine Unit7. The results will be used to calibrate reactive transport models to predictmovement of dissolved uranium and potential contaminants down gradient ofmined and restored aquifers. As no Safety, Health or Environmental issues notpreviously evaluated are expected the SERP approved the project in Mine Unit 7.

6. SERP 8/15-09: Approval of Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) (Approved8/26/2015)The SERP reviewed the qualifications outlined in NRC Regulatory Guide 8.31 fora Radiation Safety Officer and approved a new RSO.

7. SERP 8/15-10: North Butte Satellite Flow Rate Average (Approved 8/26/2015)The SERP approved a change in wording to the North Butte Operating Plan SERPto clarify flow rate as an annual throughput in accordance with the NRC Licenseand supporting documents.

8. SERP 11/15-11: Approval of Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) (Approved11/18/2015)The SERP approved a Radiation Safety Officer. The qualifications and trainingmet the requirements outlined in NRC Regulatory Guide 8.31 for a RadiationSafety Officer.

Consistent with License Conditions 9.4(e) the Safety and Environmental Evaluations and,if applicable, changed pages to the Operations Plan of the approved license applicationare included in Attachment B. The following page changes were made:

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWPANEL EVALUATIONS

The chamber has a top port for loading the wet cake and a bottom portunloading the dry powder. Additional ports are provided for venting ofvapors during the drying procedure.

2) Baq House: This air and vapor filtration unit is mounted directly above thedrying chamber so that any dry solids collected on the bag filter surfacescan be batch discharged back to the drying chamber. The bag house isheated to prevent condensation of water vapor during the drying cycle. It iskept under negative pressure by the vacuum system.

3) Condenser: This unit is located downstream of the bag house and is watercooled. It is used to remove the water vapor from the non-condensablegases coming from the drying chamber. The gases are moved through thecondenser by the vacuum system. Dust passing through the bag filters iswetted and entrained in the condensing moisture within this unit.

4) Vacuum Producer: The vacuum producer is a water sealed unit thatprovides a negative pressure on the entire system during the drying cycle. Itis also used to provide ventilation during transfer of the dry powder from thedrying chamber to fifty-five (55) gallon drums. The water seal capturesentrained particulate matter remaining in the gas streams.

5) Packaqing: The system is operated on a batch basis. When the yellowcakeis dried sufficiently, it is discharged from the drying chamber through abottom port into drums. A level gauge, a weigh scale, or other suitabledevice is used to determine when a drum is full. As noted in 4) above,ventilation is provided by the vacuum pump when the powder is beingtransferred.

6) Heating: The heat for drying is supplied by a heat transfer medium suchas Dow-Therm or other, suitable heat transfer materials. The yellowcakedrying is accomplished under 3250 F and at pressures less thanatmospheric.

7) Effluent Monitoring: Because of the low, intermittent air flow exiting thevacuum pump, isokinetic sampling of the effluent is not possible. The airflow from the vacuum pump associated with the yellowcake dryer doesnot exit the building. The water that is collected from the condenser isrecycled to the process circuit or filtered and discharged with other processwater. Room air will be monitored routinely for airborne dust andradionuclides as described in Chapter 9.

8) Controls: The system is instrumented sufficiently to operate automaticallyand to shut itself down for malfunctions such as heating or vacuumsystem failures. The system will alarm if there is an indication thatthe emission control system is not performing within operational
