The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is weighing a 20-year renewal of Crow Butte Resources' source and byproduct materials license. The permit, SUA-1534, would keep in situ recovery of uranium running at the Crow Butte Project.

The renewed authorization would likewise extend to construction of a satellite facility and its support operations in the Marsland Expansion Area, located in Crawford, Nebraska.

The agency has issued an environmental assessment and a finding of no significant impact. Both documents became available on July 30, 2026.

Why it matters
The decision will determine whether in situ uranium recovery can continue at the Crow Butte site for another two decades.
