NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-22]
CBS Corporation; Westinghouse Test Reactor; Notice of Issuance of
Amendment to Facility License
Notice is hereby given that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the
Commission) has issued, effective as of date of issuance, Amendment No.
8 to Facility License No. TR-2. The license authorizes CBS Corporation
to possess, but not operate, the deactivated Westinghouse Testing
Reactor Facility located near Waltz Mill in Westmoreland County
Pennsylvania. The amendment approves the decommissioning plan dated
July 31, 1997 as supplemented on March 20 and July 10, 1998.
The decommissioning plan covers the removal of the reactor vessel
internal controls, the reactor vessel, the biological shield and the
disposition of radioactive components. Following completion of the
authorized activities and verification by the Commission that
acceptable radioactive contamination levels have been achieved, the
Commission would issue an order terminating the TR-2 license and
relicensing the remaining facility under a Special Nuclear Materials
license existing at other parts of the facility at Waltz Mill. Prior to
issuance of the order, the Commission will have made the findings
required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (the Act), as amended and the
Commission's regulations.
Opportunity for a hearing was afforded by a ``Notice of Proposed
Issuance of a License Amendment and an Order Authorizing Disposition of
Component Parts, Termination of Facility License, and Opportunity for
Hearing'' published in the Federal Register on October 21, 1997 (62 FR
54656). There were no requests for a hearing.
The Commission has found that the application for amendment
complies with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended, and the Commission's regulations published in 10 CFR Chapter
I. The Commission has made the findings (relating to its review of the
application) which are set forth in the amendment and has concluded
that the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common
defense and security or to health and safety of the public and does not
involve a significant hazards consideration.
For further details with respect to this amendment, see (1) the
licensee's application for amendment dated July 31, 1997, as
supplemented on March 20 and July 10, 1998, (2) the amendment to
Facility License No. TR-2, and (3) the related Safety Evaluation which
are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document
Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW, Washington, DC 20555.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of September 1998.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Non-Power Reactors and Decommissioning Project Directorate,
