Dear Mr. Luftig:
This letter is to inform the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the U.S. Nuclear F'egulatory Commission (NRC) is preparing to authorize release of land and buildings at the armer Clevite Corporation site located at 540 East 105th Street, Cleveland, OH, for l
unrestricted use. The facility is currently owned by Shorebank Enterprise Group.
' The NRC staff is providing this information to EPA in accordance with NRC policy contained in the " Action Plan to Ensure Timely Cleanup of Site Decommissioning Management Plan Sites" (57 FR 13389), which states that NRC willinform EPA about specific decommissior,ing actions at Site Decommissioning Management Plan sites.
Clevite Corporation possessed five radioactive material licenses, and manufactured nuclear fuel for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), including high-enriched uranium fuel for the U.S. Navy and AEC research reactors, as well as tiiorium products in the 1958-1963 timeframe.
On May 27,1993, NRC performed a radiation survey at the site because Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) had identified it as potentially contaminated during a review of former AEC and NRC licenses. NRC's survey identified low-level radioactive contamination in a portion of the building originally used as a fuel manufacturing area and currently used as a machine shop.
Subsequent surveys conducted by Sevenson Environmental Services, Inc. (Savenson) identified low-level radioactive contamination in several rooms on the first tioor of the facility and one room on the second floor. Sevenson completed remediation activities and submitted a Final Status Survey Report (FSSR) on November 24,1997, with additions submitted on April 6, 1998, and July 22,1998. Waste generated during remediation was placed in 55 gallon drums for shipping to Waste Control Specialists, LLC (WCS) in Pasadena, TX. Sevenson shipped all waste to WCS on June 10,1998. Based on the results of Sevenson's final status survey and
{}O the results of confirmatory surveys conducted by NRC on Januan. ;-15,1998,
. February 23-26,1998, and May 14,1998, NRC concludes that tne facility has been adequately l
remediated and now meets NRC criteria for unrestricted use.
