NRC, COMPANY TO DISCUSS CLEANUP PLAN FOR GREENVILLE, PA., SITE
Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with representatives of Whittaker Corp. on Tuesday, November 27, to discuss a decommissioning plan for a radioactively contaminated site the company owns in Greenville, Pa. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. in the Public Meeting Room at the NRC Region I office in King of Prussia, Pa. It will be open to the public for observation. NRC staff will be available afterwards to answer questions from interested members of the public. Last year, Whittaker submitted to the NRC its decommissioning plan for the site, where the major contaminant is thorium. The company hopes to clean up the property so it can be used for other purposes. The process is expected to take many years. During the meeting, there will be a discussion of ways to streamline the NRC's review of the plan.
