DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Record of Decision To Classify Certain

Elements of the SILEX Process as

Privately Generated Restricted Data

AGENCY: Office of Nuclear and National

Security Information, DOE.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

Secretary of Energy’s decision to classify

as Restricted Data certain privately

generated information concerning an

innovative isotope separation process

for enriching uranium. Under 10 CFR

1045.21(c), the Secretary of Energy is

required to inform the public whenever

the authority to classify privately

generated information as Restricted Data

is exercised.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An

Australian company, Silex Systems,

Limited, has been developing the

Separation of Isotopes by Laser

Excitation (SILEX) process to enrich

uranium since 1992. In 1996, USEC,

Inc., purchased the rights from Silex

Systems, Limited, to evaluate and

further develop this process. The

privately generated information which

the Secretary of Energy has classified as

Restricted Data under the Atomic

Energy Act of 1954, as amended,

pertains to certain elements of the

SILEX process.

Issued in Washington, DC on June 19,

2001.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Oak Ridge Operations Office;

Certification of the Radiological

Condition of the B&T Metals Site in

Columbus, OH, 1996

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE),

Oak Ridge Operations (ORO) Office of

Environmental Management.

ACTION: Notice of certification.

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy has

completed remedial action to

decontaminate the B&T Metals Site in

Columbus, Ohio. Formerly this property

was found to contain quantities of

residual radioactive material from

activities conducted under contract to

DuPont, acting as a contractor for the

Manhattan Engineer District. Based on

the analysis of all data collected, DOE

has concluded that any residual

radiological contamination remaining

on-site at the conclusion of DOE’s

remedial action falls within radiological

guidelines in effect at the conclusion of

such remedial action.

ADDRESSES: The certification docket is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOE,

ORO Office of Environmental

Management, has conducted remedial

action at the B&T Metals site in

Columbus, Ohio, under the Formerly

Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program

(FUSRAP). The objective of the program

is to identify and remediate or otherwise

control sites where residual radioactive

contamination remains from activities

carried out under contract to the

Manhattan Engineer District/Atomic

Energy Commission (MED/AEC) during

the early years of the nation’s atomic

energy program.

In October 1997, the U.S. Congress

assigned responsibility for management

of the program to the U.S. Army Corps

of Engineers (USACE). Completion of

the Certification process was delayed

pending preparation of a Memorandum

of Understanding between the DOE and

USACE with regard to completed,

remediated sites such as B&T Metals.

The Memorandum of Understanding

between the U.S. DOE and the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers Regarding

Program Administration and Execution

of the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial

Action Program was signed by the

parties in March 1999. Funding to

proceed with the completion of DOE

closure documentation for several

FUSRAP sites, including B&T Metals,

was obtained from USACE in late 2000.

In 1943, the DuPont Company, acting

as an agent of MED, contracted with the

B&T Metals Company to extrude rods

from uranium metal billets. The rods

were destined for the Hanford reactor.

Production extrusion began in March

1943 and continued until August of that

year. It is likely that more than 50 tons

of uranium was extruded.

The B&T Metals site consists of three

buildings: the main building, a storage

building, and an aluminum extrusion

building. A review of historic Sanborn

insurance maps from 1941 indicate that

all three buildings were standing at the

time of the MED activities.

Radiological protection during the

MED work was provided by

Metallurgical Laboratories of the

University of Chicago. Measurements

taken in March and April 1943

indicated significant amounts of

airborne material, and the extension

process was modified to reduce

suspended particulate matter. Upon

completion of the project, MED and

DuPont representatives visually

inspected the site to verify that the

residue had been shipped offsite.

Although some industrial monitoring

was performed during the extrusion

operations, there are no records of

extensive decontamination or surveys

after completion of MED activities.

Machinery used for processing uranium

has been sold or removed with no

records indicating its final disposition.

In 1992, the B&T Metals site was

designated for cleanup under FUSRAP.

An initial screening of the B&T Metals

property was conducted by members of

the Oak Ridge National Laboratory

(ORNL) Measurements Applications and

Development Group on August 2, 1988.

ORNL made a subsequent visit to the

site on April 25, 1989, to collect air

samples in the main building. A

radiological assessment of soil and dust

samples measured concentrations of

radium and thorium at or near the

background level, and indoor air

samples were below the minimum

detectable amounts for gross alpha and

beta radiation. However, direct beta/

gamma measurements at floor and

overhead beams locations exceeded the

allowable surface contamination

guidelines. Elevated concentrations of

uranium were found inside the main

building in several floor, sump, and

drain locations and in dust on building

support beams. Elevated external

gamma radiation readings were also

found in soil samples taken from the

outdoor area where process fluids or

shavings from the MED activities

reportedly were disposed of.

Post-remedial action surveys

conducted in 1996 have demonstrated,

and DOE has certified, that the subject

property is in compliance with the

Department’s radiological

decontamination criteria and standards

in effect at the conclusion of the

remedial action. The standards are

established to protect members of the

general public and occupants of the

property and to ensure that reasonably

foreseeable future use of the property

will result in no radiological exposure

above applicable radiological

guidelines. These findings are

supported by the Department’s

Certification Docket for the Remedial

Action Performed at the B&T Metals Site

in Columbus, Ohio. DOE makes no

representation regarding the condition

of the site as a result of activities

conducted subsequent to DOE’s postremedial action survey conducted in

1996.

The Certification docket will be

available for review between 9:00 a.m.

and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday

(except Federal holidays) in the

Department’s Public Reading Room

Located in Room 1E–190 of the Forrestal

Building, 1000 Independence Avenue,

S.W., Washington, D.C. 20585. Copies of

the certification docket will also be

available in the DOE Public Document

Room, U.S. Department of Energy, Oak

Ridge Operations Office, Oak Ridge,

Tennessee 37831, and at the State

Library of Ohio, Documents Division, 65

South Front Street, Columbus, Ohio

43215.

DOE, through the Oak Ridge

Operations Office of Environmental

Management, Oak Ridge Reservation

Remediation Management Group, has

issued the following statement:

Statement of Certification: B&T Metals

in Columbus, Ohio

The Department of Energy (DOE), Oak

Ridge Operations (ORO) Office of

Environmental Management, Oak Ridge

Reservation (ORR) Remediation

Management Group, has reviewed and

analyzed the radiological data obtained

following remedial action at the B&T

Metals site in Columbus, Ohio [Parcels

(135m 136, 342) and 280, respectively,

all in the records of Franklin County,

Ohio]. Based on analysis of all data

collected, including post-remedial

action surveys conducted in 1996, DOE

certifies that any residual contamination

remaining onsite falls within the

guidelines, in effect at the conclusion of

remedial action, for use of the site

without radiological restrictions. This

certification of compliance provides

assurance that reasonably foreseeable

future use of the site will result in no

radiological exposure above radiological

guidelines, in effect at the conclusion of

the remedial action, for protecting

members of the general public as well

as occupants of the site.
