Armco-Rustless Iron and Steel Co. rolled eight billets of uranium for the AEC. It was a one time test of rolling.
Processing of
radioactive materials at W. R. Grace began in
July 1955 when Rare Earths, Inc. (W.R. Grace's
predecessor) entered into a contract with the
Atomic Energy Commission to extract thorium and
rare earths from naturally-occurring monazite
sands. In 1956, the Atomic Energy Commission
contract and Rare Earths' license to possess,
transfer, and use radioactive thorium were
transferred to W.R. Grace & Company. The
facility where thorium processing took place
(Building 23) operated until late spring of
1957, when W.R. Grace and the Atomic Energy
Commission agreed to terminate the contract,
effective January 31, 1958.
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.
