meeting in Windsor, Conn., on Wednesday, Dec. 12, to provide an update
on decommissioning activities at a former nuclear fuel manufacturing
facility in that community owned by ABB, Inc. The NRC, which is
responsible for oversight of the facility, will discuss changes in
decommissioning and oversight responsibilities that have been
implemented to facilitate the completion of remaining cleanup activities.

ABB, Inc. (formerly Combustion Engineering-Windsor) manufactured nuclear
fuel at the site, which is bordered by Day Hill Road to the south. It

material, both of which are radioactive.
