Since coming to New Mexico LES has stated, and committed to New Mexico
Governor Bill Richardson, Attorney General Patricia Madrid, and the citizens,
their intent to pursue construction of a private deconversion facility outside
of New Mexico to deconvert the NEF byproduct to uranium oxide that can be
disposed of safely.
"Although in most cases we would not be making deconversion plans so early
in the process of developing an enrichment facility, Governor Richardson and
Attorney General Madrid have pressed for this kind of commitment by LES toward
out-of-state deconversion and disposal., and Fluor Corporation, headquartered in Aliso Viejo, Calif.
Fluor serves clients in a wide variety of industries worldwide, including oil
and gas, chemicals and petrochemicals, commercial and institutional,
government services, life sciences, manufacturing, power, and transportation.

The oxide would then be sent to low-level radioactive
waste facilities outside the State of New Mexico for storage and/or disposal. We are delighted that their technology will be available to
us to achieve this goal. A deconversion facility to support
our enrichment plant is not necessary for a number of years yet, as there will
not be any material to deconvert for some time., with AREVA

LES and AREVA Sign Memorandum of Understanding for Deconversion Facility near the National Enrichment Facility

While today's agreement marks significant progress toward a long-term
deconversion and disposal path, Ferland noted it is important to understand
this is just one step in a lengthy process. "As there are no ultimate disposal options in New Mexico,"
Ferland said.
