The Westinghouse Electric Corporation hereby submits the attached report entitled
            " Westinghouse Test Reactor, TR-2, Final Decommissioning Plan" This report provides a general plan and time schedule for the radiological remediation of the WTR facility on the Westinghouse Waltz Mill Site which is covered by L.icense Number TR-2. Westinghouse has presented an overall schedule and set of priorities for the Waltz Mill Site (Reference 1) and has submitted the Remediation Plan (Reference 2) for certain facilities covered by USNRC License Number SNM-770, Westinghouse previously submitted a conceptual version of this Decommissioning Plan (Reference 3).
The overall priorities and objectives for the Waltz Mill Site remain as stated in the referenced letters. The first priority is to address the soil and groundwater issues so that the site can be removed from the SDMP list, followed by remediation of cenain SNM-770 retired facilities, and finally to decommission the Westinghouse Test Reactor facility so that the TR-2 license can be terminated.
Since Westinghouse plans to transfer the WTR facility to the SNM-770 license, the Decommissioning Plan is based on objectives which recognize the ALARA concept along with the intent to continue the use of the facility for licensed operations. The Plan provides the objectives, schedule, and remediation approaches. Note that this plan is not a detailed engineering plan. Additional engineering detail will be defined as specific plans are developed.

The basic approach presented in the attached Decommissioning Plan is to:
1
: 1) Remove the remaining reactor vessel internal contents, the reactor vessel, and the biological shield.
                                                                                                                   )
: 2) Transfer the remaining radioactive material and WTR facilities to the SNM-770 license.
: 3) Perform an independent verification that the reactor vessel and biological shield have been removed.
: 4) Terminate the TR-2 license.
