NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-22]


CBS Corporation; Westinghouse Test Reactor; Notice of Issuance of 
Amendment to Facility License

    Notice is hereby given that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the 
Commission) has issued, effective as of date of issuance, Amendment No. 
8 to Facility License No. TR-2. The license authorizes CBS Corporation 
to possess, but not operate, the deactivated Westinghouse Testing 
Reactor Facility located near Waltz Mill in Westmoreland County 
Pennsylvania. The amendment approves the decommissioning plan dated 
July 31, 1997 as supplemented on March 20 and July 10, 1998.
    The decommissioning plan covers the removal of the reactor vessel 
internal controls, the reactor vessel, the biological shield and the 
disposition of radioactive components. Following completion of the 
authorized activities and verification by the Commission that 
acceptable radioactive contamination levels have been achieved, the 
Commission would issue an order terminating the TR-2 license and 
relicensing the remaining facility under a Special Nuclear Materials 
license existing at other parts of the facility at Waltz Mill. Prior to 
issuance of the order, the Commission will have made the findings 
required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), as amended and the 
Commission's regulations.
    Opportunity for a hearing was afforded by a ``Notice of Proposed 
Issuance of a License Amendment and an Order Authorizing Disposition of 
Component Parts, Termination of Facility License, and Opportunity for 
Hearing'' published in the Federal Register on October 21, 1997 (62 FR 
54656). There were no requests for a hearing.
    The Commission has found that the application for amendment 
complies with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 
amended, and the Commission's regulations published in 10 CFR Chapter 
I. The Commission has made the findings (relating to its review of the 
application) which are set forth in the amendment and has concluded 
that the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common 
defense and security or to health and safety of the public and does not 
involve a significant hazards consideration.
    For further details with respect to this amendment, see (1) the 
licensee's application for amendment dated July 31, 1997, as 
supplemented on March 20 and July 10, 1998, (2) the amendment to 
Facility License No. TR-2, and (3) the related Safety Evaluation which 
are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document 
Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of September 1998.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Seymour H. Weiss,
Director, Non-Power Reactors and Decommissioning Project Directorate, 
Division of Reactor Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor 
Regulation.
