BACKGROUND AND NEED
In the 1950s, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) encouraged
private industry to participate in the reprocessing of used nuclear
fuel. In 1959, the State of New York established the Office of Atom-
ic Development and two years later purchased land near West Val-
ley, New York, to establish the Western New York Nuclear Service
Center. In 1962, the Davison Chemical Company created Nuclear
Fuel Services, Inc., to construct and operate a reprocessing facility
at that site. The Atomic Energy Commission issued a construction
permit for the reprocessing facility in 1963 and an operating li-
cense for it in 1966. It began operation in 1966 and reprocessed
about 640 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel.
