[Docket No. 030-05798, License No. 34-10445-01]
Shelwell Services, Inc., Hebron, Ohio: Notice of Public Meeting
and Opportunity for a Hearing Regarding Proposed License Termination
Background: In a letter dated January 13, 1998, Shelwell Services
Inc. (Shelwell) requested the termination of byproduct material License
No. 34-10445-01. The Shelwell facility is located at 645 East Main
Street, Hebron, Ohio. Shelwell is licensed to use sealed sources and
unsealed radioactive material in well logging and tracer studies of oil
and gas wells. In September 1983, the licensee accidentally drilled
into a 2-curie cesium-137 sealed source, which caused the spread of
radioactive contamination. The site was substantially decontaminated
following the 1983 incident. The licensee has recently completed
additional decontamination, and reported that the site will be ready
for release for unrestricted use when some stored sealed sources and a
small amount of containerized radioactive waste are removed from the
site. Copies of the licensee's termination request and related
correspondence are available for review and copying for a fee at the
NRC's Region III office at 801 Warrenville Road, Lisle, IL 60532-4351.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will approve
termination of the license, if the staff determines that the site has
been adequately decontaminated, and that the site is suitable for
release for unrestricted use in accordance with 10 CFR 30.36; 10 CFR
Part 20, Subpart E; and other applicable requirements. If the staff
determines that portions of the site have been adequately
decontaminated, but the stored sealed sources or waste have not been
removed from the site, then the license may be amended to release the
decontaminated portions of the site for unrestricted use, and a
decision made on termination at a later date, when the stored sources
and waste have been removed from the site.
The NRC staff is also preparing an environmental assessment of
Shelwell's license termination request. The final findings of the
assessment will be published in a future Federal Register notice, prior
to the staff's decision on Shelwell's license termination request.
Notice of Public Meeting: Prior to acting upon the license
termination request, the NRC staff plans to hold a public meeting to
discuss the request, receive comments, and answer questions from the
public. The meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn, 733 Hebron Road,
in Heath, Ohio, on January 13, 1999, at 7:00 p.m.

is a proceeding on an application for license termination falling
