About the Joslyn Manufacturing Site

Joslyn Manufacturing Site

The Joslyn Manufacturing Site is located in Fort Wayne, in Allen County, Indiana. From 1943 until 1946, the former Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company, currently known as the Fort Wayne Steel Corporation, processed uranium billets into metal rods under subcontract with the University of Chicago. Documentation also exists that indicates that Joslyn continued to roll uranium rods until at least 1949 for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). The primary operations performed by the former Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Co. consisted of tempering, hot rolling, quenching, straightening, cooling, grinding, abrasive cutting, waste burning, and threading of natural uranium billets into metal rods.

It was determined in August 2004 that the former Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company would be investigated to determine its eligibility for inclusion into the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP). The Corps of Engineers completed a Preliminary Assessment of the site in August 2005 and a Site Inspection in May 2007. Based on the results of these investigations, the Corps of Engineers recommended that a Remedial Investigation be conducted of the site to determine the nature and extent of AEC-related contamination and the associated risks to human health and the environment.

A Remedial Investigation of the Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Co. FUSRAP Site will be conducted pending the availability of nationwide program funding.
