'The Lockheed-Georgia Company is in tne process of decommissioning its Lockheed-Georgia Nuclear Laboratory, which is located near Dawsonville, Georgia. The decision to close the laboratory was made in mid-1970, and an option to purchase the-property (approximately 10,000 acres) was given to the city of Atlanta by Locitoed in ilovember of,1970.
Decommirnoning activities nave conunuec tnrough "1971 and are to be' completed by the end of June 1972.
In August of 1971, after-the reictor and all Special :Tuclear 14aterials (fuelu) had been recoved from.the -
alte, the AEC Facility License was cancelled, ana uve state licences ere innued
'to cover five areas on the site. We have continued decommissioning activities under tnese licenses since snat time.
'1 hen the city of Atlanta obtained the option to purchase the laboratory site in Lovember of 1970, the ALC license, R-66, was still in effect. As a'part of'the ootion agreement with the City of Atlanta, the following paragraph was included r as Section 5 in the salos contract:

Mr. Lyall U. Johnson Far3 2 30 Earch M since we are completing the decomminaioning activities under Geoggist state license only, it is assumed that the final responsibility for acelioration of rest'rictionc on the property rests with the Georgia iseparwent, el ruolic Health, Radiological Health Service. The AEC License Termination vruer, J osure A, specifically stat that remaining radioactive material would be placed under state license concur-rent with the issuance of the termination order; however, in order to make the existing circumstances completely clear to all parties, we would like to request ~
an addit _ional statement from the AEC concerning its present position with respect.
to the"Georpa s wa wa Alcenses, ana tne 11nal ame1Aurai,Aou ol restrictions on this property.
This statement will be utilized as an explanation to the city of Atlanta to partis satisfy Section 5 of the option agreement. Therefore, the statea:ent that we solic can simply be a brief definition of an " Agreement State" along with an explanation that the AEC Facility License has been cancelled and that Georgia, as an "Agreemen State," now holds the remaining licenses on the property, and that the amelioratic of these license restrictions is the' resporisttrfIrty of the Georgia Radiological Health-Service; and that upon cancella' tion of the~ state licenses, the AEC will have no objection to unrestricted uce of the propert'y iiiso Mr as radiological
~
considerations are concerne2.
Your early assistance in providing an answer to this request will be greatly ap-preciated.
If you have questions, please contact Harr/ N. Edmondson or Bruce D.
