Supply Intermittent extrusion and grinding of substantial quantities of uranium metal, 1944-49. Such operations typically raised radioactive dust. A 1949 federal survey showed some contamination and clean-up was done. In 1976, slightly elevated radiation found in isolated areas. Eliminated IN Shelbyville General Electric Plant Processed and compacted at least 500 pounds of thorium metal in 1956.
Records show some decontamination was done upon work's completion.
W.R. Grace Processed approximately 998 tons of thorium in 1955-58. Federal cleanup planned for 36,000 cubic yards of radioactive waste on property. Eliminated MA Attlelboro Metals and Controls Fabricated enriched uranium foils for AEC, 1952-59. NRC MA Beverly Metal Hydrides Uranium refining, 1942-48. Tests indicated minimal potential for airborne contamination.
