NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 030-03754]


Consideration of Amendment Request for Decommissioning the ABB 
Prospects, Inc. CE Windsor Site, Building Complexes 2, 5 and 17, in 
Windsor, CT, and Opportunity for a Hearing

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of consideration of amendment request for 
decommissioning the ABB Prospects, Inc. CE Windsor Site, Building 
Complexes 2, 5 and 17 in Windsor, Connecticut and opportunity for a 
hearing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering issuance of a 
license amendment to By-Product Materials License No. 06-00217-06 
(License No. 06-00217-06), issued to ABB Prospects, Incorporated, to 
authorize decommissioning of Building Complexes 2, 5 and 17 at the CE 
Windsor Site in Windsor, Connecticut.
    The licensee has been performing limited decommissioning of 
Building Complexes 2, 5 and 17 at the CE Windsor site in accordance 
with the conditions described in License No. 06-00217-06. On January 7, 
2002, the licensee submitted a Decommissioning Plan for Building 
Complexes 2, 5 and 17 at the CE Windsor Site to the NRC for review that 
summarized the decommissioning activities that will be undertaken to 
de-construct the buildings and remediate the remaining building slabs, 
basements, sub-surface utilities, and soil at the CE Windsor Site. 
Radioactive contamination at the licensee's CE Windsor Site consists of 
soils and building surfaces contaminated with uranium and byproduct 
material resulting from licensed operations that occurred from the late 
1950s until 2001.
    The NRC will require the licensee to remediate Building Complexes 
2, 5 and 17 and the surrounding areas to meet the NRC's decommissioning 
criteria, and during decommissioning activities, to maintain effluents 
and doses within NRC requirements and as low as reasonably achievable.
    Prior to approving the decommissioning plan, the NRC will have made 
findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 
NRC's regulations. Approval of the Decommissioning Plan for Building 
Complexes 2, 5 and 17 at the CE Windsor Site will be documented in an 
amendment to License No. 06-00217-06.
    The NRC hereby provides notice that this is a proceeding on an 
application for amendment of a license falling within the scope of 
Subpart L ``Informal Hearing Procedures for Adjudication in Materials 
Licensing Proceedings,'' of NRC's rules and practice for domestic 
licensing proceedings in 10 CFR part 2. Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.1205(a), 
any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding may file a 
request for a hearing in accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(c). A request 
for hearing must be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of 
publication of the Federal Register Notice.
    The request for the hearing must be filed with the Office of the 
Secretary either:
    1. By delivery to the Document Control Desk or may be delivered to 
the Commission's Public Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 
MD 20852-2738; or
    2. By mail or telegram addressed to the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention: 
Rulemakings & Adjudications Staff.
    In addition to meeting other applicable requirements of 10 CFR part 
2 of the NRC's regulations, a request for a hearing filed by a person 
other than an applicant must describe in detail:
    1. The interest of the requester in the proceeding;
    2. How that interest may be affected by the results of the 
proceeding, including the reasons why the requester should be permitted 
a hearing, with particular reference to the factors set out in 10 CFR 
2.1205(g);
    3. The requesters areas of concern about the licensing activity 
that is the subject matter of the proceeding; and
    4. The circumstances establishing that the request for a hearing is 
timely in accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(c).
    In accordance with 10 CFR 2.1205(e), each request for a hearing 
must also be served, by delivering it personally or by mail, to:
    1. The applicant, ABB Prospects, Inc., CEP 880-1403, 2000 Day Hill 
Road, Windsor, CT 06095-0500, Attention: John Conant; and
    2. The NRC staff, by delivery to the Executive Director for 
Operations, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 
20852, or by mail, addressed to the Executive Director for Operations, 
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
    For further details with respect to this action, the 
decommissioning plan is available for inspection at the NRC's Public 
Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rm 0-1, F23, Rockville, MD 20852.

    Dated at King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, this 3rd day of April, 
2002.
