The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a Confirmatory Order to Homestake Mining Co of California outlining actions to be taken as part of an ongoing groundwater clean up programme at the site of a former uranium mill near Grants in New Mexico. The mill processed uranium from several local mines between 1958 and 1990 and was decommissioned and demolished between 1993 and 1995. Tailings were placed in two piles. In 1975 it was discovered that seepage from the tailings had contaminated groundwater, and a groundwater protection plan was implemented from 1977.
