Simonds Saw and Steel rolled uranium
billets into rods for the AEC as part of the multi-site
process overseen by the New York Operations Office for the
production of uranium metal for fabrication into slugs for
fueling Hanford production reactors. Simonds also rolled
thorium metal whose most likely use was irradiation in
Hanford reactors for the weapons program. Simonds rolled
between 25 million and 35 million pounds of uranium and
between 30,000 to 40,000 pounds of thorium.
During the period of residual
contamination, as designated by the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health and as noted in the dates
above, employees of subsequent owners and operators of this
facility are also covered under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act.
