Common use of Radioactive Materials Clause in Contracts

Radioactive Materials. A radiological survey was performed on December 7 and 8, 1993 at the Navy Weapons Storage and Laboratory Buildings (Buildings 459, 484, 486, 487, 490 and 4XC1, all located east of the runway with the exception of Building 459 located in Parcel 5) to declassify and make available the rooms for unrestricted use. The rooms had been used by the Navy for storage of Naval Weapons and handling of hazardous materials used with the weapons. Results of the sampling indicated that all results were below background levels; no radioactive contamination was found during the survey, and the rooms were released for unrestricted use (CWM/, 1994). According to Bill Vermeere, PAI/ISSI Radiologist Specialist (Personal Communication, 2000), radiological materials are only used in the Hangar 2 and 3 areas and in several NASA buildings. Additionally, radiation calibration materials are also used in Building 19 (Parcel 1). None of these areas/buildings are located within Parcel 5. On the basis of this communication, radioactive materials are not discussed further in this document.
