Reed Rolled Thread Co.
State: Massachusetts
Location: Worcester
Time Period: AWE 1955; Residual Radiation 1956-March 1, 2011
Facility Type: Atomic Weapons Employer
Facility Description
In 1955, Reed Rolled Thread and Die was scheduled to thread roll a test lot of 1500 Savannah River plant slugs for National Lead Company of Ohio (Fernald).
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.
Discussion
A memo from National Lead of Ohio to C.L. Karl states that 1500 slugs will be thread rolled on September 14 and 15, 1955. Another NLO memo states that 1711 slugs were successfully thread rolled on September 27 and 28 of 1955.
With the absence of any known radiological survey data from this or any other period, based on the assumption that the work did occur, there is a potential for the existence of significant residual contamination after completion of the operations.
