NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 070-00133 (terminated)]


Notice of Removal from the Site Decommissioning Management Plan 
for the former Clevite Corporation site (Clevite)

    This notice is to inform the public that the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) is removing the former Clevite Corporation (Clevite) 
site in Cleveland, Ohio from the Site Decommissioning Management Plan 
(SDMP). Clevite 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 thorium products. The AEC 
issued several licenses to Clevite in the late 1950s. Licensed 
activities at the site ceased in 1962.
    NRC surveys conducted in 1993 showed uranium contamination at 
several locations in the facility. Gould, Electronics, Inc. (formerly 
Gould, Inc.), which merged with the Clevite Corporation in 1969, 
accepted responsibility for remediation of the site. Gould, 
Electronics, Inc. began the remediation process in 1993 and completed 
remediation in May 1998. Based on: (1) remedial actions taken by Gould, 
Electronics, Inc. and documented in the Final Status Survey Report, and 
(2) the results of NRC's confirmatory surveys, NRC concludes that the 
facility has been adequately remediated and is suitable for 
unrestricted use. Removal from the SDMP will be reopened only if 
additional contamination, or noncompliance with remediation commitments 
is found indicating a significant threat to public health and safety.
    For further information, contact John Buckley, Office of Nuclear 
Material Safety and Safeguards, Washington, DC 20555, telephone: (301) 
415-6607.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this day of September, 1998.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Chief, LLW and Projects Decommissioning Projects Branch, Division of
